The former president of the Institute of Registries and Notaries, António Figueiredo, said in court that was “just trying to help Chinese friends” with their Golden Visa applications and hadn’t made any money out of it.

Accused of crimes of passive corruption for unlawful acts, undue receipt of advantage, trafficking of influence and prevarication, António Figueiredo decided to make a full statement in court to try and show that “there was no criminal intent” on his part.
