Correio da Manhã15 September 2026 at 15:40

The commanders of the Mirandela Firefighters are being tried for crimes of embezzlement and falsification of documents. The trial is taking place in court and involves those responsible for the fire brigade corporation of that city.

A witness gave testimony in court and revealed the existence of irregularities in the payment of salaries to Mirandela firefighters. The reported irregularities concern undue or incorrect payments that were made to members of the corporation.

The case involves financial issues related to the management of the human resources of the fire brigade corporation. The authorities point to the fact that there was alleged misappropriation of public funds intended for firefighter payments.

The crimes of embezzlement refer to the appropriation of public funds by the commanders, while the falsification of documents is associated with the alteration of records related to the payments. The trial continues to hear witnesses to clarify the facts.

Why this matters

Readers in the Mirandela region are directly affected by this situation, as it involves public money allegedly diverted that should have been used to pay the firefighters who protect the community. The trial sets an important precedent for transparency in the management of voluntary fire brigades in the region.
