A trial centred on a scandal within the
Algarve luxury resort of Quinta do Lago is scheduled to take place on 27t
of this month.
The trial will focus on the alleged
assault by one senior employee on another last year. David Combrink, a former
colleague from Topaz Energy in Ireland, of Quinta do Lago CEO Sean Moriarty is
alleged to have physically attacked the Quinta’s former head of security, John
O’Gorman.
This incident is aid to have been
witnessed by other staff members as well as captured by an internal, but since
destroyed, camera video.
The alleged crime has brought about
unwanted attention on the owner of Quinta do Lago, the wealthy Irish
businessman Denis O’Brien, who also owns property on the Caribbean island
resort of Canouan. in the Caribbean. So his connection with the Quinta do Lago
scandal has been of considerable interest to a Caribbean daily news
publication, the St. Vincent Times
It has reported that, “Interestingly,
Quinta do Lago’s legal counsel, Carmen Baptista Rosa, has disappeared from the
case.” She is a director of the Portuguese-British Chamber of Commerce and head
of the PMLJ law firm in the Algarve.
According to a reliable Algarve source
in addition to the St. Vincent Times, Carmen Baptista Rosa “somehow” managed to convince
the prosecution’s office that she was
representing the plaintiff, not the defendant, It is alleged that she became
registered as the victim’s lawyer in
court in order to gain access to all of John O’Gorman’s criminal filings. If so, this would amount to a major corrupt
breach of lawyer ethics.
