Amadeu Guerra promises "swift justice" in cases involving Luís Neves, but sets no deadline

SAPO15 September 2026 at 14:03

The Attorney General of the Republic, Amadeu Guerra, guaranteed on Tuesday that the Justice system is working to accelerate the investigations related to the Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves. Guerra promised "swift justice" in the cases involving Luís Neves, but did not establish any specific deadline for the conclusion of the investigations. This declaration comes at a time when the Minister of Internal Administration is under judicial investigation. The Attorney General thus reinforced the commitment of judicial authorities to addressing the pending proceedings concerning Luís Neves.

This case arises in a context of growing scrutiny over the conduct of government officials and may have implications for citizens' trust in institutions.
