The judicial holidays have ended and the courts in Portugal have resumed their activity with trials of great relevance. Among the cases marking this reopening are the trials related to crimes allegedly committed by PSP agents.
The Public Security Police officers face court charges for crimes of abuse of power, rape, torture, robbery, document forgery and illegal possession of weapons. These proceedings are associated with acts allegedly carried out at the Rato police station.
In parallel, Operation Marquês, one of the most high-profile judicial cases in recent years in Portugal, returns to court with sessions scheduled for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd of this month. This case involves prominent figures in Portuguese politics and economy.
The coincidence of these highly visible trials symbolizes the strong return of judicial activity after the summer break period, attracting great media and public attention.
