From Spinumviva to the Júdice family's millions: X-Ray of politicians' companies

Now15 September 2026 at 12:34

Spinumviva, a company associated with politician Montenegro, is said to have lost value or closed after Montenegro's departure or absence. The article suggests a direct link between the company's performance and this politician's presence.

The Minister of Justice, Teresa Costa Gundlach, is mentioned as having stakes in ten companies, representing a significant presence in the business sector.

Other government members are said to have transferred their quotas in companies, in what appears to be a move related to the incompatibility rules applicable to holders of political office.

The article presents an X-ray of companies owned by politicians, highlighting issues about conflicts of interest and the management of business assets by government officials.

Why this matters

Portuguese readers closely follow the transparency of their rulers, especially at a time when trust in institutions is being questioned. This article reveals which politicians have the greatest business interests and which companies have already been abandoned or transferred, information relevant to assessing potential conflicts of interest in governance.

Economic advisor to the President advises IL to seek convergences with Seguro

Economist Luís Aguiar-Conraria, economic advisor to the President of the Republic, advised the Liberal Initiative to seek points of convergence with António José Seguro, considering that the liberals, being a small party, need allies and may have presidential support for their proposals for economic growth and business concentration. In the debate on tax reform in Porto, Aguiar-Conraria considered that Portuguese taxation is not particularly high when compared internationally, but has the major flaw of being "stupidly complex," defending the elimination of differentiated rates and the reduction of tax progressivity. Economist Pedro Brinca also criticized fiscal complexity and measures such as zero VAT on food baskets and VAT reduction on fuels, warning that these may end up benefiting distribution and higher incomes rather than families in need.

Rio creates policy to cross-reference data and find children outside the public network

The City of Rio launched this Tuesday the Integrated Municipal Policy for Early Childhood (PMIPIC), which aims to place children up to 6 years old at the center of decisions across different areas of the municipal administration. The decree creates a new governance structure, under the responsibility of the Municipal Civil House, integrating approximately 18 agencies around actions in health, education, social assistance, housing, food, mobility and the right to the city. The experience began being tested in April in 14 neighborhoods in the Madureira region, in the North Zone, where the monitoring of 6,627 children and pregnant women led, in 30 days, to the regularization of 619 people with pending issues in public services.

Church linked to Vorcaro's brother-in-law moved R$ 57 million in one year, COAF points out

COAF documents forwarded to the Supreme Federal Court in the Banco Master case investigations reveal that the Lagoinha Belvedere Church, linked to Fabiano Zettel, Vorcaro's brother-in-law, moved more than R$ 57 million between December 2024 and December 2025, a value far exceeding the presumed annual revenue of R$ 950 thousand. Banco do Brasil reported the operations to COAF due to this discrepancy. Most of the payments were destined for construction, engineering, metal structures, and event production companies. Zettel alone transferred approximately R$ 19 million in 26 operations to the church. Minister André Mendonça lifted the secrecy from the financial movements.
