Firefighters confirm return of part of subsidy for participation in firefighting device

Jornal Nordeste9 September 2026 at 09:53

The firefighters confirmed the return of part of a subsidy they allegedly received improperly for participation in the firefighting device. The association in question allegedly received more than 121 thousand euros improperly between 2014 and 2017.

The value is related to the firefighting device and was allegedly paid irregularly during that four-year period. The competent authorities identified the irregularity in the payments made to the association.

The confirmation of the return comes as a result of investigations carried out on the payments made within the scope of the firefighting device in mainland Portugal.

A proposal from the Portuguese section of Transparency International advocates the creation of a new crime in Portugal to punish the so-called "cunha" when used to obtain preferential treatment in public decisions. The bill, sent to parties with parliamentary seats, provides for sentences of up to three years in prison or fines for anyone who uses personal, family or institutional relationships to unduly influence the actions of public officials. The measure also includes transparency mechanisms, such as mandatory registration of external contacts related to specific processes, and provides for its expiration after 15 years, with four-yearly evaluations. The proposal also extends to the private sector, namely listed companies, requiring them to disclose recruitment opportunities for senior positions.
