Journalist Sandra Felgueiras, from CNN Portugal, comments on the new developments of the controversies involving the Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves. The controversies are related to the rejection of the use of Xuxas' goods by the Judicial Police.

Xuxas, whose real name is José Augusto dos Santos, is a Portuguese businessman who became known for illegal activities. His goods were arrested and were intended to be used by the authorities, but the Judicial Police ended up rejecting their use.

The State may have to pay compensation if the goods arrested from Xuxas show signs of wear. This situation arises in a context of debate about the management of goods seized in police operations and legal proceedings.
