The Monte Tree case trial grinds to a halt, again!
The bailiff strike continues to affect the continuation of the case against the former Vice-President of the municipality of Funchal, Idalina Perestrelo, and Francisco Andrade, Head of the Green Space Division.
The two defendants are charged with 13 counts of negligent homicide and 24 counts of bodily harm.
If the judicial officers’ strike does not continue beyond Friday, the trial will be rescheduled for next week.
Since the trial began on the 12th of April, the proceedings have been disrupted by industrial action.
