LISBON, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- Former leader of Portugal's Social Democrat party (PSD) Duarte Lima was sentenced to 10 years in prison on Friday for alleged fraud and money-laundering.
Judge Filipa Valentim said Lima had recurred to "inexplicable victimization" and relied on his son to commit the criminal offences.
The former MP and lawyer said before the sentencing that he expected to be acquitted.
He said the allegations are "brutal" and "unjust," claiming he had nothing to do with problems related to bank BPN.
The PSD's leader and Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho has not yet commented on Lima's sentence.
