Works, contracts and financial infractions: the six investigations scrutinizing the seven years of Luís Neves at the head of the PJ

SIC Notícias2 September 2026 at 20:30

Luís Neves was for seven years the director of the Judicial Police, the police force responsible for investigating serious crime in Portugal. During that period, he allegedly accumulated works, contracts, and financial infractions that are now being scrutinized.

Currently, Luís Neves holds the position of Minister of Internal Administration, the same ministry that oversees the Judicial Police. This position now places him at the center of investigations examining his previous conduct as the PJ's leader.

There are six investigations scrutinizing the years when Luís Neves was at the head of the PJ. These analyses focus on works, contracts, and financial infractions related to the management during his mandate.

The situation places the minister in a delicate position, since he himself oversees the institution that is investigating his conduct when he led it.
