Portugal's government fired the chief executive of flag carrier TAP last month without a legal assessment of the move, Finance Minister Fernando Medina has acknowledged, deepening a high-profile scandal around the state-owned airline.
CEO Christine Ourmières-Widener and chairman Manuel Beja, were dismissed with just cause on March 6 after an inspection found that a 500,000-euro severance payment to former board member Alexandra Reis was illegal.
Parliamentary Affairs Minister Ana Catarina Mendes and Cabinet Minister Mariana Veira da Silva said on Wednesday the government had obtained a legal opinion backing the decision, but refused to send it to parliament to "safeguard the public interest".
