The Marquês Operation trial has begun, with 21 defendants, including former Prime Minister José Sócrates, facing charges. Among the accused is Sócrates' driver, implicated by the Public Prosecutor's Office in the movement of money allegedly used to corrupt the ex-PM.
Ricardo Salgado, former banker, is also on trial, though his defense claims Alzheimer's prevents him from defending himself.
This case highlights a significant moment in Portuguese judicial history, scrutinizing allegations of corruption at the highest levels of power.
