Trafficking in Influences in Abramovich’s Naturalization Process | Investigation

Motives of “national interest” that “involve the Government itself”, B’nai B’rith International – the largest and oldest Jewish organization in the world – and a group of Portuguese Sephardic Jews “listed in the Forbes” were invoked by the Israeli Community of Porto (CIP) to convince the management of the Central Registry Office (CRC) to urgently process the naturalization process of Roman Abramovich. The pressure had the desired effect and in three months the oligarch became the richest Portuguese in the world, backed by the Ministry of Justice (MJ), the Judiciary Police (PJ), the Foreigners and Borders Service (SEF) and the State Security Information (SIS).
