Courts in Portugal resume full operation this Tuesday, after a period of judicial holidays that lasted a month and a half. This return marks the end of the usual summer recess period in the courts.

The start of judicial activity is marked by the beginning of the trial of police officers accused of torture. This case constitutes one of the highlights of the return of Portuguese justice.

The judicial holidays, which lasted approximately six weeks, have now ended, allowing the resumption of trials and other court activities throughout the country.
