Sócrates having lunch in Lisbon with his ex-socialists ministers

José Sócrates claimed impossibility to witness in court

in Lisbon, during this last week, as he now lives in Paris, France.

He was required as a witness in the fraud-case involving

his ex-Alma Mater, the Indenpendent University,

which "issued" Sócrates' "fraudulent" diplomas.

But just a few hours afterwards,

Sócrates was seen having lunch in Lisbon

with his ex-socialists ministers,

Alberto Costa (Justice)

and Pina Moura (Finance and Economy).

For court appearances,

it was impossible to be in Lisbon,

but a few hours later,

he was available for lunch in Lisbon!!

Irony!
