Manuel Pinho and Ricardo Salgado sentenced to prison: when was the EDP case born? What are CMECs? And what was that agreement?

More than 80 volumes and almost 30 thousand pages. In addition to the paper it consumed, case 184/12, from the Central Department of Investigation and Criminal Action (DCIAP), also occupied eleven years of the lives of two prosecutors, said former minister Manuel Pinho under house arrest, removed António Mexia from managing EDP and placed yet another lawsuit on Ricardo Salgado. The accusation by the Public Ministry had been announced for a long time and it is in this Tuesday’s instructional debate that prosecutors and lawyers will present the final arguments so that judge Gabriela Assunção decides whether the case proceeds to trial.
