International Desk:<\/strong> Portugal’s Prime Minister Antonio Costa has resigned a few hours after his chief of staff was arrested on corruption charges.<\/p>\n

The country’s law enforcement agencies have arrested Prime Minister Antonio’s chief of staff for corruption in a lithium mining and hydrogen project.<\/p>\n

The Prosecutor’s Office announced plans to initiate an investigation against Prime Minister Costa for his alleged involvement in this corruption.<\/p>\n

After meeting with President Marcelo Rebelo de Sosa, Antonio Costa announced his resignation from the post of Prime Minister on Tuesday (November 7).<\/p>\n

However, the 62-year-old Costa denied involvement in corruption before resigning. He said, “I fully believe in the judicial system. If there is anything suspicious, the judiciary will see it without hindrance. I am not above the law.’<\/p>\n

President Marcelo is expected to accept his resignation.<\/p>\n

Portugal’s opposition party has demanded the resignation of the entire government over the corruption scandal.<\/p>\n

The country’s infrastructure minister has also been accused of involvement in corruption.<\/p>\n

The Prosecutor’s Office of Portugal said that the Supreme Court is looking into the matter of corruption in the name of the Prime Minister.<\/p>\n

The hydrogen and lithium extraction project that led to the resignation of Portugal’s prime minister over corruption is funded by the European Union.<\/p>\n
