Former Portuguese Prime Minister José Sócrates, who served from 2005 to 2011, faces a new trial in Lisbon starting this Monday. He is charged with three counts of money laundering. This legal development runs parallel to his ongoing involvement in the 'Operación Marqués' case, where he remains prosecuted for corruption and other related offenses.
In response to the new proceedings, Sócrates has formally challenged the legal process. He has denounced the necessity of his appearance, specifically citing concerns regarding the duplication of charges or judicial proceedings.
