Rogério Osório was appointed the new coordinator of the Public Prosecutor's Office for the Azores District, in a vote that divided the Superior Council of the MP. The appointment was approved even considering that the prosecutor is currently being investigated for having shot at a robber during a GNR operation.
The incident that originated the investigation occurred in November 2024, in Valença do Minho. According to the available information, Rogério Osório allegedly shot at the robber during the operation carried out by the National Republican Guard.
Outside his professional activity, Rogério Osório is a firefighter and YouTube content creator. These complementary activities were mentioned as part of his personal profile, although they were not directly related to the ongoing investigation.
The divided vote in the Superior Council of the MP suggests that the appointment was not consensual, raising questions about the appropriateness of appointing a prosecutor who is under investigation for a coordination position in the Azores district.
