José Castella is one of the new defendants in the case who put Ricardo Salgado under house arrest since Saturday morning. Because he who recorded audio in meetings of the High Council of the Espírito Santo Group (GES), without most known present, the controller Financial became known as the man of the recorder.
The terms in which it appears mentioned in the report of the parliamentary commission of inquiry to Banco Espírito Santo give an idea about their role in the group of the universe: “Given the still prevailing management style in GES, the centralization of knowledge and responsibilities around the figure Ricardo Salgado, particularly in terms of a centralized treasury management, although not assumed by itself, practiced along with José Castella, it is considered likely that Ricardo Salgado has been involved in making intentional manipulation decision of the accounts of the Holy Spirit International since 2008, although his testimony point to the contrary, the same applies, although perhaps with varying degrees of detail variables, for José Castella. “
The former head of the asset management department of the Bank Holy Spirit Claudia Boal de Faria and Pedro Luís Costa, who administered the Holy Spirit Financial Assets, complete so far the process of defendants roster, which had already been indicted last November, Isabel Almeida and António Soares, respectively director of the finance department, markets and studies of BES and BES Vida insurance administrator. All five names along with Ricardo Salgado, were confirmed by the Attorney General’s Office.
The case involves suspected forgery, computer forgery, aggravated fraud, breach of trust, tax evasion, corruption private sector and money laundering.
The president of BCP, Nuno Amado, not wanted to stretch this Monday in comments on the recent developments of the case BES / GES: “I have to comment, is a theme of Justice, which has to work, “said this charge during the presentation of the bank’s results in the first half. And stressed, quoted by Lusa agency:.. “The banking system and BCP in particular will also be affected by the process by resolution mechanism is not worth speculating, we must wait”
By clarify continue the reasons why the investigating judge Carlos Alexandre did not apply the electronic bracelet to Ricardo Salgado, who is being watched by agents of the PSP the door of her property in Cascais. The by police surveillance option entails much higher costs than the bracelet, and two unions have criticized the PSP also the number of players involved. “Cut up police surveillance to the residence Salgado. This is reducing the quality provided to citizens,” noted the president of the Trade Union Association of Professional Police, Paulo Rodrigues.
It is certain that in what is not his first run-in with the prosecution in cases where it appears Ricardo Salgado, Carlos Alexandre went further than it had proposed the prosecutors in charge of the case, who understood that it was not necessary to keep the accused in captivity by simply it was forbidden to leave the country and contact some people. Still they wanted to transfer three million guarantee given by the banker in the Mont Blanc process for BES / GES process.
