The former chief executive of Portuguese airline TAP, Christine Ourmieres-Widener, has filed a lawsuit in a Lisbon court to claim over 5.9 million euros ($6.3 million) in compensation for being sacked last March amid a high-profile scandal. The justice ministry's portal Citius shows that the lawsuit was entered with the Central Civil Court of Lisbon on Sept. 5. Finance Minister Fernando Medina and Infrastructure Minister Joao Galamba, who oversee the state-owned company, announced the sacking of the French CEO with just cause on March 6 in the wake of a scandal involving an irregular severance payment of 500,000 euros paid to a former board member.
