==Plagiarism controversy==
In August 2008, the [[Portuguese Society of Authors]] (SPA) announced that it had received several complaints about possible plagiarism by Tony Carreira. The complaints related to three songs: "Depois de Ti (Mais Nada)", "Ai Destino, Ai Destino" and "Leva-me ao Céu". SPA concluded that the song "Depois de Ti (Mais Nada)", is an apparent unauthorized copy of the song "[[Después de Ti...¿Qué?]]", composed by [[Rudy Pérez]] and first performed by [[José Feliciano]]. No action was taken however because SPA had not received an official complaint from the rights owners, who were represented by [[Universal Music Publishing]]. According to Universal Music the matter was "under investigation". In 2017, Tony Carreira was formally accused of plagiarism by the [[Public Ministry (Portugal)|Portuguese Public Prosecution Service]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.publico.pt/2017/09/13/culturaipsilon/noticia/ministerio-publico-acusa-tony-carreira-de-plagiar-11-musicas-1785281|title=Ministério Público acusa Tony Carreira de plagiar 11 músicas|website=PÚBLICO|accessdate=Dec 9, 2020}}</ref>
