Carlos Montez Melancia (21 August 1927 – 23 October 2022) was a Portuguese politician. He was the Governor of Macau from 9 July 1987 to 23 April 1992.[citation needed]
Biography
Melancia was born in Alpiarça, Santarém District, Portugal in 1927.[1] In 1990,[2] his alleged corruption affairs were published in the media. He was subsequently indicted for suspected bribe taking by the Prosecutor General of the Republic, thus causing him to resign as Governor of Macau in that year.[2] Melancia was later acquitted and found innocent of all charges by the Portuguese Supreme Court in 1994.[2] He also served as Minister of Industry and Technology (1978), Minister of the Sea (1983–1985) and Minister of the Social Equipment (1985).[3][4][5]
Melancia was the godson of José Relvas, a key figure of the 5 October 1910 revolution and prominent politician in the First Portuguese Republic. Carlos Melancia died on 23 October 2022, at the age of 95.[6]
