Observador | False accusations have criminal consequences

Pedro Barosa, partner at Abreu Advogados who works primarily in white collar crime and criminal litigation, explains how false reports have criminal consequences. The lawyer’s participation in the podcast focuses on anonymous complaints to the Child and Youth Protection Commission which, if proven false, can end up with the complainant being charged with defamation, a criminal offence punishable by up to 3 years.
