Read it:

Portugal is sold abroad as Europe's quiet corner; its courts tell another story. A banking dynasty that began as a Lisbon exchange shop in 1869 collapsed in 2014, and the public put billions into what was left. An economy minister was convicted of taking €15,000 a month from that bank while in office. A prosecutor at the elite investigation department was convicted of being paid to close files. A former prime minister went on trial eleven years after his arrest, presumed innocent. And the Atlantic made the country a door for South American cocaine. Covers Ricardo Salgado and Banco Espírito Santo, Manuel Pinho and the EDP case, José Sócrates and Operação Marquês, Orlando Figueira and Operação Fizz, and João Rendeiro and Banco Privado Português.
