In an interview for TVI's Exclusivo, Henrique Salinas, Partner at CCA and Head of the Economic Criminal Law & Compliance practice explains, from a legal point of view, the US justice system's indictment of Hugo Góis for laundering Venezuelan funds.

Hugo Góis, accused of diverting hundreds of millions of euros from Venezuela to tax havens, is cooperating with the American justice system. Although he remains indicted for money laundering conspiracy in the US, this is a crime that does not exist in Portuguese law.

"In fact our legal system does not provide for the autonomous crime of conspiracy for money laundering or conspiracy for any other crime," comments Henrique Salinas.
