José Sócrates came forward to state that he is not being treated the same way as Luís Montenegro by the Public Prosecutor. The former Prime Minister specifically commented on the Spinumviva case, where he claims the Public Prosecutor did not want to investigate.
The comparison between the two cases arises at a time when both politicians are under public scrutiny. Sócrates has been pointing to an alleged disparity in the treatment dispensed by the Portuguese justice system to the different parties involved.
The Public Prosecutor, for its part, decided not to initiate investigations regarding the Spinumviva case, according to José Sócrates's statements. This decision contrasts with the approach taken in other cases involving political figures.
