This Tuesday, the Judicial Police (PJ) is carrying out nine searches at home and outside in Lisbon and Viseu, namely at the premises of the company, the Portuguese Institute of Sports and Youth, the Portuguese Red Cross, the Tondela-Viseu Hospital Center and the National Institute of Health Doutor Ricardo Jorge.
Information published on the website of the Prosecutor’s Office (PO) states that the investigation “is aimed at obtaining evidence related to facts that may constitute crimes related to economic participation in business and abuse of power by persons holding political positions, as well as as a usurpation of functions.”
We are talking about a public contract by directly concluding a contract within the framework of the “PRID Project – Sports Infrastructure Rehabilitation Program” for the purchase of engineering services with a person who does not have the legal qualifications to perform actions arising from this profession, and, in another part, on suspicion of favoritism in government procurement regarding Covid-19 test analyses.
The investigation is attended by inspectors and experts of the judicial police, a representative of the Order of Physicians, five specialists from the Technical Advisory Center of the General Prosecutor’s Office, five magistrates of the prosecutor’s office and two criminal judges.
