Neves Refused to Sign Contracts with Friend’s Company
The International Transparency Organisation says Luís Neves signed bad contracts. Contracts were given to a friend's company, Construbarcelos. A seized truck was found with a vehicle linked to Neves.
Luís Neves was the leader when Construbarcelos got many contracts. Most of these contracts did not use a public bidding process. Some were direct deals, and one was through a limited tender. A truck seized in a drug case was found with a vehicle owned by a contractor connected to Neves. This is part of an investigation into drug production and trafficking.
