The magistrate refused to comply with a ruling by the Supreme Court of Justice. The case has been awaiting trial for more than three years.

João Massano, president of the Portuguese Bar Association, says Operation Marquês calls into question the concept of 'mega-cases', which he describes as 'small, unmanageable monsters' that drag on for years.

The trial has been on hold for nearly two months. The resumption of proceedings is scheduled for this Tuesday, but the judge has not yet decided how to proceed given José Preto's illness.
