The Office of the Attorney General of the Republic guarantees that the investigation involving former Prime Minister António Costa has never been stopped, but admits that it is conditioned by the lack of access to communications that it considers imprespensible.
The MP argues that the exercise of the right of defence by defendants and sought-after prevents access to equipment with communications "imprescindible to the discovery of the truth".
Pending judicial remedies, disagreements over access to emails and a high volume of documentation have delayed due diligence considered essential for the clearance of the facts.
The Public Prosecutor's Office states that defenses have presented a succession of resources that have prevented the analysis of the content of much of the 30 devices. Another 120 are under analysis.
The Public Prosecutor's Office has already completed the forensic procedures of about 120 of the 150 devices seized, but continues to be unable to access the others. Judicial remedies and disagreements over access to emails are conditioning the investigation.
About 30 of the 150 electronic devices seized in Operation Influencer are still inaccessible to prosecutors, almost three years after the first searches, which condition the development of the investigation, today alerted the Public Prosecutor's Office.
