Portuguese PM António Costa resigns over lithium deal probe

Portuguese Prime Minister António Costa says he has handed his resignation to the president, after investigators searched his official residence in an inquiry into alleged corruption.

He said he had not been named as a suspect but believed the inquiry was incompatible with staying in office.

Prosecutors said on Tuesday they were investigating concessions awarded for lithium mines and hydrogen production.

Five people have been detained, according to Público newspaper.

Among them are two people seen as close to Mr Costa, including his chief of staff Vítor Escária and a business consultant, Público reports.

Infrastructure Minister Joao Galamba has meanwhile been indicted as part of the inquiry into energy deals.

Shortly after Mr Costa gave a televised address, President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa said he had accepted his resignation.

About 140 detectives searched his residence, as well as 17 residential properties and 25 other premises, including the office of the prime minister’s chief of staff and two government ministries.

They also searched municipal offices in Sines, the deep-water port that is the focus of investment in hydrogen for use as an energy source.
