A new legal twist in the case of the Iraqi twins, accused of attempting to murder a young man in Ponte de Sor in 2016, has seen the Ministry of Foreign Affairs sending a 'letter rogatory' to the Iraqi authorities from the Attorney General's Office.
In January this year, the Prosecutor's Office issued an indictment against Ridha and Haider, sons of the former Iraqi ambassador in Lisbon, Saad Mohammed Ali. They are accused of the attempted murder of Rúben Cavaco, in the early hours of August 17, 2016, in Ponte de Sor, Portalegre in the Alentejo.
