New Revelations in Influencer Operation Involve António Costa and Diogo Lacerda Machado
Recent disclosures in the Influencer Operation indicate that António Costa discussed the Start Campus data center project with Diogo Lacerda Machado, contradicting previous denials. This development may impact ongoing investigations into corruption and has implications for the political landscape in Portugal.

Investigations into the Influencer Operation reveal that António Costa and Diogo Lacerda Machado discussed the Start Campus data center in Sines, disputing prior claims of non-communication. The Police Judiciária accessed a recorded conversation from December 24, 2022, where both acknowledged the project's status and potential involvement of American investors.
This contradicts Costa's November 2023 statement asserting he had never discussed the project. The operation has previously resulted in the arrest of five individuals, including Vítor Escária, leading to Costa's government collapse amid corruption suspicions regarding lithium exploitation and hydrogen energy production.
