PGR opens investigation into national director of PJ for alleged false statements in court and abuse of power

Correio da Manhã15 September 2026 at 10:52

The Attorney General opened an investigation to examine the national director of the Judicial Police. The investigation concerns alleged false statements made in court and possible abuse of power.

The case falls within the investigation of the process known as "Football Leaks," involving hacker Rui Pinto. This process has been accompanied by various controversies and legal developments in recent years.

The authorities have not provided further details on the specific circumstances of the alleged false statements or the alleged abuse of power attributed to the director of the PJ.

Why this matters

Portuguese readers are directly affected because this investigation involves the top chief of the Judicial Police, the main criminal police body in the country, and may have implications for the credibility of the judicial system. The case follows the "Football Leaks" process, which exposed tax schemes of football figures and involved a controversial collaboration between Portuguese authorities and Rui Pinto.
