Court acquits former Gaia mayor accused of embezzlement

SAPO Notícias4 September 2026 at 16:45

The court acquitted Eduardo Vítor Rodrigues, former mayor of Vila Nova de Gaia, of the corruption and embezzlement charges. The court found there was insufficient evidence to convict the former city council president.

Eduardo Vítor Rodrigues had been indicted for corruption and embezzlement crimes and was tried for these same crimes. The Public Ministry had filed charges against the former mayor.

Eduardo Vítor Rodrigues's term was interrupted in 2025. This interruption occurred after the court sentenced him to lose his position for misuse of the municipal vehicle.

The embezzlement and corruption case now went to trial, where the court ultimately pronounced the acquittal of the former mayor.

The success of the far-right leader shakes Australia

Pauline Hanson, leader of the Australian far right and founder of the One Nation party, threatens to break the bipartisanship that has prevailed in Australian democracy. At 73 years old and an admirer of Donald Trump, Hanson is preparing for a major electoral leap in the federal elections scheduled for 2028, with polls giving her 30% voting intention, above the Labor Party (in government) and the Coalition (liberals and conservatives), the main traditional forces. It is the first time that a third party surpasses traditional Australian parties in opinion polls.

Only 30 days remain until the next Brazilian elections, which take place amid the greatest institutional crisis of the New Republic. The three branches of government are affected by an unprecedented crisis of confidence, especially the Supreme Federal Court. Brazilians will choose a president, governors, senators, and federal deputies in a context where electoral programs compete for (and lose) the population's attention in the face of the erosion of ethical and moral values in public institutions.
