Portuguese Authorities Investigate Digital Piracy
An intercepted 2022 conversation between former Prime Minister António Costa and Diogo Lacerda Machado has challenged previous claims regarding a data center project in Sines. Carrui Cardoso, director of DCAP, stated that judges currently perform only a formal control of the execution of intercepts. The process allows for the selection of messages for use as evidence without public oversight of the selection criteria. The Portuguese Judicial Police are organizing a debate regarding digital piracy. Authorities noted that pirates bypass digital boundaries to operate despite national laws. The phenomenon involves sophisticated, multi-million euro business models that are difficult to combat. The source stated that current laws only apply to entities with local success, allowing pirates to bypass digital borders. The issue is described as a grave problem for the nation.
