Lisbon City Council ordered to pay 463 thousand euros in Russiagate case

Correio da Manhã11 September 2026 at 01:30

The Lisbon City Council was ordered to pay 463 thousand euros within the scope of the process known as Russiagate. The initial value of the condemnation amounted to 1.25 million euros, having been reduced to less than half of the originally intended value.

The process involves the Lisbon municipality and is related to the Russiagate case, whose specific content is not detailed in the article. The defense of the Municipal Council guarantees that the process has not yet ended, suggesting that there may be future legal appeals or procedural phases.

This case represents a significant cost for the municipality of Lisbon, although the final amount to be paid is considerably lower than initially claimed. The defense's position indicates that the municipality intends to continue fighting this conviction in the appropriate legal instances.
