Miguel Albuquerque claims to be “very satisfied” with the decision of judge Jorge Bernardes de Melo, who ordered the release of the three defendants detained in connection with the case of alleged corruption in the Autonomous Region of Madeira, after three weeks of detention.
“I’m very pleased because 21 days in detention is a huge suffering for him [Pedro Calado] and his family,” said Albuquerque.
To the journalists, who were waiting for statements outside Quinta Vigia, Miguel Albuquerque adds that he leaves “a hug of solidarity” to both Pedro Calado and businessmen Avelino Farinha and Custódio Correia.
When asked about the regression of his resignation, he said: “Let’s see, we have time to think.”
