The Attorney General of the Republic, Amadeu Guerra, and the director of the DCIAP, Rui Cardoso, are tired of tasting the poison left to them by Albano Pinto and Luís Neves, just as they no longer accept being linked to a convict used by them.
In 2022, Albano Pinto and Lucilia Gago were happy. Luís Neves and his henchmen were too. It seemed easy to accuse the Jewish Community of "corruption" of notaries. Yet, something went wrong. The community's leadership didn't know any notaries. On the contrary, the community began to accuse the Portuguese power system of being totally corrupt, immersed in the trafficking of favors between politicians, journalists, and officials.
After four years and seven months, the case enters its final stretch. Hardworking, Albano and Neves' employees were wasting time. The "open door" for fake certificates was also dismantled, since the Gaza hostage crisis.
What beautiful stories! Ran Guili (great-grandson of Eduardo Nada, "protected Spaniard" in Alexandria), Ofer Kalderon (from a Greek Sephardic family from KK Portugal), Adina Moshe Galante (from a Turkish family from KK Portugal), Orin Bira Kasorlla and his daughter Tair Kasorlla (from a Paredes family from the former Yugoslavia), Gila Peled Cohen and his son Daniel (from a family from the "Portuguese Jewish community of Tunis").
How wonderful! Dror Or Ermoza (from an Ottoman family who spoke Ladino and inspired the series "The Beautiful Queen of Jerusalem"), Idan Shtivi (from the Benveniste family of Bulgarian origin), Ariel Cunio and his brother David Cunio (from a Turkish Sephardic family), Or Levy (from a Turkish Sephardic family), Gilad Ben-Yehuda (from a Turkish Sephardic family), Tsachi Idan Eini and his daughter Maayan Idan (from a Turkish and Egyptian Sephardic family),
What bad luck! Moshe "Moshiko" Saadyan (from a Turkish and Moroccan Sephardic family), Yossi Sharabi (from a Moroccan Sephardic family surnamed Turgeman), Dorin Atias (from an Ottoman and Moroccan Sephardic family), Liraz Assulin Shitrit (from a Moroccan Sephardic family), Nevo Arad Edry (from a Moroccan Sephardic family), Eli Sharabi (from a Moroccan Sephardic family surnamed Turgeman), Omer Shem Tov (from a Moroccan Sephardic family), Segev Halfon (from Moroccan and Tunisian Sephardic family), Ravid Katz (from Bulgarian Sephardic family), and Rotem Neumann Kadosh (also from Balkan Sephardic family).
The consequences of the Gaza hostage crisis extend far beyond the immediate, profound tragedy faced by the hostages and their families, deeply impacting regional geopolitics, global politics, and international humanitarian law. In Portugal, the law so hated - and destroyed by socialists and social democrats - seems to have fulfilled its purpose, given the clear Portuguese origin of the 25 victims identified above.
The challenge facing Amadeu Guerra and Rui Cardoso today is having to present to the Israeli state the identity of the perpetrator of the assassination attempt against the young French Jewish leader Ilan Cohen. Explanations are being demanded, now that the "open door of certificates" has failed, and the "corruption of registry offices" it was an abortion.
In any case, Portugal faces significant challenges in becoming a trustworthy country. An April 2026 lunch featuring Attorney General Amadeu Guerra and Minister of Internal Administration Luís Neves alongside figures linked to the Masonic structure The Klub caused significant public criticism, fueling debates over the separation of powers and institutional overlap.
