In the case of Armando Pereira, founder of Altice, house arrest will be served in a house on a 15-hectare plot of land with a sports pavilion, swimming pool, tennis court, mini-golf and heliport.

It is considered the largest mansion in the north of the country.

“I don’t know if it has 15 hectares, but if it does you can certainly move around in it,” explained lawyer Manuel Magalhães e Silva.
