‘Suspected abuse of power – Analysis’ (with Paulo de Sá e Cunha)

"The Minister for Internal Administration, who was formerly director of the PJ, has raised doubts regarding the classification of the facts and the handling of evidence, such as a seized trailer. The movement of this trailer may render evidence inadmissible at trial, raising questions about the chain of custody. The investigation into the evidence of abuse of power has been referred to the Public Prosecutor’s Office, which is considered a standard but sensitive decision. It is believed that having the Public Prosecutor’s Office, rather than the PJ, conduct the investigation safeguards the institution."
