Carlos Montez Melancia (born 21 August 1927) was the Governor of Macau from 9 July 1987 to 23 April 1991.[1] He was born in Alpiarça, Santarém District, Portugal in 1927.[2] In 1991, 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 from the post in that year. Melancia was later acquitted and found innocent of all charges by the Portuguese Supreme Court in 2002. He also served as Minister of Industry and Technology (1976-1978) and Minister of the Sea. (1983-1985)[3][4]
