Ministry of Justice contradicts Luís Neves' version about destruction of chemicals seized by PJ

SIC Notícias4 September 2026 at 20:38

The Ministry of Justice contradicts the version presented by Luís Neves, former director of the Judicial Police (PJ), about the destruction of chemicals seized by the institution. The contradiction arises in a context where Luís Neves is under investigation in several distinct proceedings.

Among the processes currently investigating Luís Neves' actions is an inspection that was ordered by the Ministry of Justice itself. This inspection comes within a broader set of investigations involving the former director of the PJ.

The central question concerns the version of facts presented by Luís Neves regarding the procedure for destroying chemical materials seized by the Judicial Police, which is now contested by the Ministry of Justice. This contradiction arises at a time when the former director faces multiple fronts of investigation regarding his performance at the head of the institution.

The initiative comes after negative reaction to the plan to allow the importation of up to 300 thousand tons of foreign ground beef with reduced tariffs. The government is trying to reduce beef prices, which remain high before midterm elections, amid a cattle shortage in the US. However, agricultural sector entities oppose imports, arguing they harm the domestic market by pressuring prices paid to producers.
