Roberto Artur da Luz Carneiro was Portuguese politician who attended the 1992 Bilderberg meeting.[1][2]
Education
He holds a degree in Chemical Engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico and a master's degree in Human Resources Economics from the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland[3]. He was director of the university newspaper Tempo (1965-1970).
Career
He was an assistant at the Instituto Superior Técnico (1970-1974), director-general and director of services at the Ministry of Education (1973-1979) and deputy to the Minister of Foreign Affairs João de Freitas Cruz (1978).
In the 1980s and 1990s, he was a member of three Portuguese governments — he was Secretary of State for Education 1980-81, Secretary of State for Regional and Local administration 1981-83 and Minister of Education 1987-91. As Minister of Education, he also supervised the Directorate-General for Sports, about which a court case took place, as a result of which he was accused of the crime of embezzlement and violation of the rules of budget execution, for having signed orders authorizing the payment of 150 thousand in subsidies and compensation to the former Directorate-General for Sports. However, he invoked the status of a political office holder to obtain separation of cases and obtained an acquittal. He even presented an case to the then Attorney General of the Republic, José Souto de Moura, complaining of the "persecutory, arbitrary and totalitarian" performance of the prosecutor responsible for the judicial process, who filed a criminal complaint against Roberto Carneiro for slanderous denunciation. The prosecutor's criminal complaint was dismissed by the Lisbon Criminal Court and Roberto Carneiro was acquitted.[4][5]
