The prosecutor alleged that Pinho benefited personally when he approved a scheme to compensate EDP for parts of some power purchase agreements, and a 25-year extension of 27 dam concessions without public tender.
The public prosecutor said EDP subsequently sponsored a renewable energy course at a major U.S. university, taught by Pinho, as a reward.
