TVI Notícias8 September 2026 at 21:17

The mayor of Albufeira, Rui Cristina, may lose his mandate after the Public Prosecutor filed a court action against the official. The controversy arises following the appointment of his sister to a position.

Rui Cristina was elected by the Chega party to lead the municipality of Albufeira. The Public Prosecutor has already filed a judicial action against the mayor.

The case involves the appointment of a direct family member to a position, which may constitute a conflict of interest. The Public Prosecutor considered the evidence sufficient to proceed with the case.

If the action results in a conviction, Rui Cristina may lose his mandate as mayor of Albufeira. The case is now in the hands of the court.
