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.
