Medical review to decide fate of jailed ex-banker Ricardo Salgado

A new medical assessment will decide whether former banker Ricardo Salgado’s prison sentences should be suspended. The evaluation Salgado currently faces two finalised prison sentences. The court has requested a detailed medical review to assess his condition. If doctors confirm his incapacity, the sentences may be put on hold.

The case has drawn public attention, with updates broadcast on *Primeiro Jornal* and *Jornal da Noite* on SIC. Viewers can catch the latest developments in 10, 15, or 20-minute segments, depending on their schedule. The news is aired every weekday from Monday to Friday. The assessment focuses solely on whether Salgado’s health prevents him from serving his sentences. No further legal steps will be taken until the results are known.

The court’s decision hinges on the medical report. If Salgado is deemed unfit, his prison terms could be suspended. The findings will determine his next legal steps.
