"Translation Error: Wiretaps Alleging PM's Involvement in Corruption Scandal Mistranscribed, Portuguese Prosecutors Admit"

Portuguese prosecutors reportedly made a mistake by confusing the name of Prime Minister António Costa with that of Economy Minister António Costa Silva in the transcript of wiretaps that led to the fall of the Portuguese government. The error was detected during questioning, and prosecutors have acknowledged their mistake. Costa stepped down after a major police raid and corruption investigation implicated his chief of staff and one of his ministers. He will remain as a caretaker prime minister until new elections in March. The investigation involves allegations of malfeasance, corruption of elected officials, and influence peddling related to lithium mine concessions and plans for a green hydrogen plant and data center.
