Suspects

• Avelino, the sacked secretary-general: He says he was put under pressure. When asked by whom, he feels pressured.
• Benedita, the chief of staff: She books the minister's meetings. The ones that don't get booked go through her too.
• Cid, the minister's driver: He always knows where the minister is going. He never knows where he went.
• Damiana, the journalist: She received an envelope with no sender. Inside was a printed email, which is a scandal in itself.
