José Sócrates under fire for alleged Abu Dhabi bail violation
Former Portuguese Prime Minister José Sócrates is facing fresh scrutiny over his travel movements. Prosecutors claim he spent two weeks in Abu Dhabi without informing the court, potentially violating his bail terms. Sócrates has denied the allegations, insisting he followed all legal requirements.
Portuguese authorities suspect Sócrates stayed in Abu Dhabi for longer than permitted under his bail conditions. His legal restrictions reportedly allow trips abroad for no more than five days at a time.
The dispute highlights ongoing legal tensions between Sócrates and Portuguese prosecutors. If the allegations are proven, he could face further legal consequences for breaching bail terms. The outcome depends on evidence confirming the exact duration of his stays in Abu Dhabi.
