The deputy says that Rui Rangel wanted to “alert Vaz das Neves of the number of the case in which he, Rui Rangel, was interested” so that the president of Relação “remove the Veiga resource from the automatic distribution lists” and “go to he. distribute manually to magistrate Rui Gonçalves ”.
What happened. According to the prosecution, Luís Vaz das Neves, ordered the attribution of that appeal exactly to Judge Rui Gonçalve, for which he is accused of having committed a “Grave violation and lack of respect for the principle of the natural judge”, in addition to the duties of detention and impartiality that were imposed on him. “
According to the prosecution, it is said that Vaz das Neves proceeded in the same way with a civil lawsuit filed in the Lisbon List and that it had Rui Rangel himself as a party, therefore, with a direct interest in the case. It was a complaint by Rangel himself against the company that owns the newspaper Correio da Manhã. He also did it with a foreclosure incident on Álvaro Sobrinho’s assets that Vaz das Neves decided to distribute to Rui Rangel himself.
It should be noted that Rui Gonçalves officially received the appeal on January 7, but had it in his possession since October 19, 2012, at the initiative of the official Otávio, who had received it from José Veiga.
The closeness between José Veiga and Rui Rangel is also evidenced by the MP in relation to Dani Veiga’s wedding that took place in 2013. This is because Rui Rangel and his girlfriend Bruna were placed at José Veiga’s table, in the company of Dennis Christel Sassou Nguesso, son of the president of Congo Brazaville, Roberto Colnaghi (leader of the Brazilian company Asperbras suspected of active corruption by the Congolese leader), Pedro Santana Lopes (former prime minister and former PSD leader) and Manuel Damásio (former president of Benfica). A respectful table that was the main table of the wedding.
But it is also a table that, with the exception of Pedro Santana Lopes, intersects with the process that gave rise to Operation Lex: Operation Rota do Atlântico. José Veiga is a suspect in these records of the crime of corruption in international trade for doing business with the Government of President Sassou Nguesso, of whom Veiga is said to have been a front man. Veiga was a representative of Asperbras in the Congo, and Roberto Conalghi is also charged in the same case, as is Paulo Santana Lopes (Pedro’s brother and José Veiga’s partner. Manuel Damásio is also being investigated on the Atlantic Route).
