Russiagate: Lisbon City Hall ordered to pay 463 thousand euros</minimax:tool_call> to pay 463 thousand euros

Diário de Viseu10 September 2026 at 18:30

The Southern Central Administrative Court ordered the City Hall of Lisbon to pay a fine of 463 thousand euros within the framework of the case known as "Russiagate". This decision represents a significant reduction compared to the initial fine of 1.25 million euros that had been previously applied.

The "Russiagate" process is related to an investigation involving the municipality of Lisbon, although the specific details of the infractions were not provided in the judicial ruling now made public.

The Lisbon municipal authority thus saw its financial sanction substantially reduced, going from 1.25 million to 463 thousand euros.

This decision by the southern court concludes, for now, this phase of the process involving the Lisbon City Council, which became known by the media designation "Russiagate".

See what is #FACT or #FAKE in Anthony Garotinho's interview with O GLOBO, Extra, Valor and CBN

The candidate for governor of Rio by Republicanos, Anthony Garotinho, was interviewed on Thursday by O GLOBO, Extra, Valor and CBN. In the 1h30 interview, he minimized his rejection and the arrests he suffered, besides blaming Michelle for the non-disclosure of the "night of the Astronauts" video. Garotinho also proposed a "BOPE 2.0" and the creation of subway line 3 with "super ferries", but dodged questions about support for Lula or his son Flavio Bolsonaro, leaving his presidential vote open. The series of interviews began with Douglas Ruas (PL), continued with William Siri (PSOL), and will be concluded by Eduardo Paes (PSD) on Friday.
