The former president of Lourosa firefighters was charged by the Public Prosecutor's Office as a defendant, facing three crimes of abuse of power. The accusations are related to the acquisition of a fire engine and the diversion of activity of two workers from the corporation.
During the interrogation, the ex-president chose to remain silent, not answering the questions asked by the authorities. This decision not to make a statement is a legal right of the defendant during the judicial process.
The case involves suspicions of irregularities in the management of human and material resources of the fire corporation. The authorities investigated the circumstances surrounding the purchase of the vehicle and the duties assigned to the two workers.
The Public Prosecutor's Office considered the evidence collected sufficient to formally charge the ex-president. The case now proceeds to court, where the defendant may present his defense.
