Minister confirms. Destruction of chemicals seized by PJ would cost 150 thousand

RTP Notícias3 September 2026 at 20:40

The Minister of Justice confirmed that the destruction of chemical products seized under Operation Pacoba would cost almost 150 thousand euros. The operation was carried out by the Judicial Police.

The head of the Justice portfolio revealed that the Judicial Police did not have specific funds to cover the payment of this destruction operation. The confirmation comes in response to questions raised about the fate of the materials seized during the operation.

Operation Pacoba involved the seizure of chemical products whose elimination requires a specialized and costly process. The high cost is due to the dangerous nature of the materials and the security procedures required for their destruction.
