There is one more revelation about the case of the Prime Minister’s family company. The prime minister asked the State’s legal services for opinions before resorting to the Constitutional Court, but he did not allow the process to be consulted and did not provide information on response deadlines.
Three opinions were requested from the State’s legal services before appealing to the Constitutional Court to challenge the Transparency Entity’s decision to make Spinumviva’s client list public.
The newspaper Público now reports that jurists had to issue such opinions without even knowing the process.
Furthermore, they were not informed that they had only four days to present the response within the deadline set for the objection.
The appeal – which should have been filed by April 28 – ended up being delivered only on June 2. That was why the Prime Minister lost the dispute with the Entity for Transparency.
The STF ministers did not even comment on the issue. They took nine months, but concluded that the appeal was submitted late.
The Entity for Transparency just wait for notification from the court to finally publicize the list of clients of Spinumviva, a company that now belongs to the children of Montenegro.
