'Gunman' prosecutor promoted to coordinator of the Azores district

Correio da Manhã3 September 2026 at 01:30

Prosecutor Rogério Osório was appointed coordinator of the Azores district, a position that combined the functions of judge and public prosecutor. The decision was made by the Superior Council of the Public Ministry, but generated a strong division among its members.

Osório is under investigation for shooting a burglar, which led the attorney general to vote against his promotion. The case raised questions about the conduct of a representative of the Public Ministry.

The promotion of a prosecutor under investigation for a shooting sparked criticism within the institution itself. The attorney general publicly expressed his disagreement with the appointment.

Ceuta: border on high alert

Ceuta, the Spanish enclave on the North African coast, remains on alert following the invasion of June 30, 2026, an episode that represents the culmination of decades of tension on the Spanish-Moroccan border. The city, located at the western entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar and under Spanish sovereignty since the 17th century, constitutes, together with Melilla, the only land border of the European Union in Africa, which gives it a geopolitical weight greater than its territorial size, transforming any threat to its integrity into a matter of European relevance. For Spain, Ceuta is a fully integrated territory within its sovereignty, while Rabat has been increasing pressure on these Spanish cities, taking advantage of their status as the only land entry point of the EU on the African continent to exert diplomatic pressure. The recent invasion highlighted the vulnerability of this border and reignited the debate on the need to strengthen European security on its outer edges.
