Ministries and official residence of Prime Minister Costa in Portugal searched
According to a report in the newspaper "Publico", around 140 police officers were involved in the searches. The ministries for the environment and infrastructure were also searched. The Ministry of the Environment confirmed the searches, but did not provide any information on the reason for the investigations.
According to reports in the Portuguese media, the searches are part of an investigation into suspected influence peddling and corruption in contracts for the production of so-called green hydrogen and the mining of lithium. Green hydrogen is produced using electricity from renewable energies. Lithium is used to produce batteries and is therefore essential for the energy transition.
