BREAKING: Nationwide Commotion As These Three Top prominent Ministers Resign With Immediate Effect, Set To Go To Jail
Three Ministers who were among those being investigated as part of a Police probe into a possible misconduct in public office, have resigned.
Portuguese Prosecutor General’s office, on Monday, said in a statement, that Fernando Rocha Andrade, Joao Vasconcelos, and Jorge Costa Oliveira, have tendered there resignation.
They had been named “arguidos”, or formal suspects, in an investigation of an alleged “improper receipt of benefits”.
The three have denied any wrongdoing or conflict of interest, in accepting the invitations.
The government earlier said that Rocha Andrade, Joao Vasconcelos, and Costa Oliveira, had requested they be named as suspects when they resigned, so as to better defend themselves.
