According to the summons, to which Lusa had access, the joint meeting will take place in the multipurpose room, at 10 am and has as a single point on the agenda the suspension of mandate and removal of immunities to Manuel Rabelais.
The former minister of Social Communication and spokesman for José Eduardo dos Santos, currently a member of the National Assembly for the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA), was accused in September 2019 because there are indications of facts that constitute "acts of harmful management of public goods, practiced as director of the Institutional Communication and Marketing Revitalization Office (GRECIMA) ", between 2012 and 2017.
The prosecutor's order states that Rabelais used his powers as director of GRECIMA, to acquire foreign currency from the National Bank of Angola (BNA) which was later channeled to BCI (Bank of Commerce and Industry) to effect foreign exchange purchase and foreign exchange, alleging "Angolan State commitments".
Manuel Rabelais is accused of crimes of embezzlement, violation of budgetary rules, undue receipt of benefits and money laundering.
In June this year, Manuel Rabelais, appointed as the majority partner of Palanca TV, voluntarily handed over the station to the State, alleging financial problems to maintain the project and the payment of salaries, according to a source from the Attorney General's Office (PGR).
As part of the communication group Publipress, Palanca TV is a generalist channel, which started broadcasting on December 16, 2015.
