Ajudas podem ir até 2600 euros
Espanha paga a imigrantes para regressarem ao país de origem
O governo de Madrid decidiu abrir a porta da saída aos imigrantes, oferecendo-lhes até 2.600 euros mais a passagem de avião para regressarem aos países de origem.
Subjacente a este programa está o facto de 30% da população estrangeira (mais de 600 mil pessoas) em Espanha sobreviver sem rendimentos de trabalho, sendo que 300 mil deles vão deixar de receber subsídios a curto prazo.
O governo prevê criar o chamado cheque imigrante, que incluirá o preço dos bilhetes de avião de regresso ao país natal para toda a família, até ao segundo grau de consanguinidade, dinheiro de bolso para a viagem (50 euros por pessoa ou 400 euros se for toda a família de uma só vez), uma ajuda económica extra para se instalarem no seu país, a qual oscila entre os 400 4 os 1600 euros segundo o número de pessoas da mesma família que regressarem. Por último, Madrid oferece-se ainda para pagar aos imigrantes os custos dos transporte para se deslocarem às suas povoações nos países de origem (ajudas oscilam entre 100 e 600 euros).
Os imigrantes em Espanha representam 12,8% da população (5,6 milhões de pessoas). A maioria (4,5 milhões) está em idade de entrar no mercado de trabalho, embora os maiores de 65 anos formem um nutrido grupo de 300 mil pessoas.

Corruption Investigation
Germany's Ferrostaal Suspected of Organizing Bribes for Other Firms
By Jörg Schmitt

Ferrostaal's headquarters in Essen.
German engineering group Ferrostaal is under suspicion of paying bribes to secure contracts and of organizing bribery payments on behalf of other firms for a fee. The case could have repercussions for the whole of German industry, says one former executive of MAN, Ferrostaal's former parent company.
It was enough to arouse suspicions. For many years, there had been recurring stories about presumed bribe payments by Essen-based plant construction group Ferrostaal. In one case, the company allegedly paid 200,000 deutsche marks (€102,258, $138,099) to former Indonesian President Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie. In another, the family of former Nigerian dictator Sani Abacha is believed to have received 460 million deutsche marks for the construction of a metal-processing plant.
Few of these allegations have stood up in court, however, partly because some of the payments occurred during a period when so-called "useful expenditures," or payments made to procure contracts, were not yet illegal in Germany.
But since Wednesday of last week, there are many indications that bribery payments were commonplace at Ferrostaal. Klaus Lesker, a member of the executive board, was arrested last week, and the Munich public prosecutor's office is also investigating two former board members and other senior executives for "a particularly serious case of bribing foreign officials in connection with international business arrangements," as well as for suspected tax evasion.
The prosecutors' list of suspects now includes about a dozen people. Investigators have their sights set on five projects, worth a total of almost one billion euros, which the group is believed to have secured through bribery.
The investigators also believe that the numbers could quickly rise in the coming days. "What we have now is just the beginning," says one official.
A few key documents already fell into the hands of prosecutors last year, during their corruption probe into Ferrostaal's former parent company, engineering group MAN. Last July, authorities conducted a raid on Ferrostaal offices in Essen because they suspected that bribes had been paid in connection with the sale of eight oceangoing tugs to a Hamburg shipping company.
Did Ferrostaal Arrange Bribes for Other Firms?
In the proceedings that has now been launched, under case number 565 Js 33037/10, the investigators can apparently rely on the extensive testimony of two witnesses. The allegations against Ferrostaal are serious: Did the company not only pay bribes itself for years, but also do the dirty work on behalf of other companies in return for a fee?
A case in point is that of Giesecke & Devrient, a Munich-based company that specializes in banknote and securities printing. The case concerns the sale of five printing and embossing machines, as well as a system used to destroy banknotes, to the Indonesian state-owned banknote printing company. Ferrostaal is believed to have brokered the deal and, through a consultant, paid bribes to local officials.
Giesecke & Devrient, which is also under investigation, says it "has not been aware of any irregularities to date." Nevertheless, say company officials, they have asked their auditing department to review business relationships with Ferrostaal.
The prosecutors' files also include the case of a company headquartered near the northern German port city of Bremen, for which Ferrostaal allegedly brokered a deal worth about €28 million to sell a coast guard vessel to the Colombian navy.
Ferrostaal is believed to have collected a five-percent commission for its services. According to prosecutors' records, subsidiary Ferrostaal de Colombia is believed to have arranged for the payment of bribes estimated at €625,000-850,000 to "decision-makers in the navy and at the ministry." The parent company presumably collected fees in the high six figures.
Ferrostaal is also believed to have paid bribes for the Bremen company to the Argentine coast guard in 2006, also in return for a contract. An employee of the Argentine defense ministry allegedly received a six-figure sum of euros from the local Ferrostaal office, which he apparently shared with two high-ranking navy officers. Prosecutors believe that board member Lesker was at least partly aware of the payments.
Ferrostaal is unwilling to comment on the charges in the current investigation. Nevertheless, tempers apparently ran high during a supervisory board meeting last Friday. "The company is on shaky ground," says one auditor. Lesker's attorney, Eberhard Kempf, was unavailable for comment by Friday evening.
Potential Blow to Image of German Industry
Insiders suspect that even more cases in which the Essen company did the dirty work for other companies could turn up soon. "The case could have repercussions for the whole of German industry," says a former MAN executive.
The current internal corruption scandal at Ferrostaal revolves around the delivery of two Type 209 submarines to Portugal. Ferrostaal, which had bid against submarine builder HDW and shipbuilder Thyssen Nordseewerke, won the €880 million contract in November 2003 -- with the help of bribes and a number of phony consulting contracts.
According to the investigators' files, a Portuguese honorary consul approached one of the Ferrostaal board members in 1999. The man allegedly said that he could be helpful in the initiation of the submarine deal. According to the files, the honorary diplomat demonstrated his influence by setting up a direct meeting in the summer of 2002 with then Prime Minister José Manuel Barroso.
The Ferrostaal executives in Essen were apparently so impressed that they signed a consulting agreement with the honorary consul in January 2003, in return for his "constructive assistance." Under the agreement, the Portuguese diplomat was to be paid 0.3 percent of the total contract volume if the deal went through.
The consul ended up collecting roughly €1.6 million, which the investigators see as a clear violation of his duties as a diplomat.
But it appears that Ferrostaal did not rely solely on its advisor's good connections to bring about the submarine deal. It is believed that a consulting agreement was concluded between Ferrostaal and a partner, on the one hand, and a rear admiral in the Portuguese navy, on the other. The deal, most recently, was worth €1 million.
A Portuguese law firm is also believed to have played a role in ensuring that that the contract was awarded to Ferrostaal, and that plenty of bribe money was paid in return.
Prosecutors have already identified more than a dozen suspicious brokerage and consulting agreements related to the submarine deal. According to the investigation files, all of these agreements were designed "to obfuscate the money trails," so as to pass on payments "to decision-makers in the Portuguese government, ministries or navy."
It appears that, in the end, Ferrostaal paid so many consulting fees that not much was left in the form of profits from the submarine deal.

Em casa no centro de Albufeira
Assassinada à facada por três homens
Uma mulher com 35 anos e de nacionalidade romena foi assassinada à facada, ao final da manhã de ontem, num apartamento do Edifício Afonso III, perto da Praça de Touros de Albufeira.
"Suspeita-se da prática de um crime de homicídio com arma branca", disse ao CM fonte oficial do Comando de Faro da GNR, acrescentando que três homens foram detidos na residência e são hoje presentes a tribunal, indiciados pelo homicídio.
Uma testemunha contactada pelo CM indicou que a vítima se chamava Valentina e "trabalhava na noite". Disse também que tinha inquilinos em casa há uma semana. Ontem, perto do meio-dia, um dos inquilinos contactou a GNR, alertando que outros dois estariam a agredir a mulher. "Quando lá chegámos, já havia um cadáver, e três indivíduos preparavam-se para fugir", disse fonte da GNR.
Os três homens – dois brasileiros, com 22 e 31 anos, e um português com 23 – foram detidos logo no local e, segundo o CM apurou, já terão confessado o homicídio. A GNR nada adiantou sobre as causas do crime, cuja investigação foi entregue à Polícia Judiciária.
