A car belonging to drug dealer known as "Xuxas" was seized by the Judicial Police (PJ) in 2022. Following the seizure, the vehicle began to be used by Luís Neves, who holds the position of national police director.

Luís Neves has requested to continue using the car under the current government and persists in utilizing it. This situation raises questions about the relationship between seized vehicles and police employees who use them, particularly in high-responsibility positions.

As reported, the use of this vehicle by a senior police official may raise concerns regarding the image and governance of the police force. However, no additional information has been provided regarding the decision to keep the car in use by Neves.

So far, there have been no official comments from the PJ or government representatives about this specific situation and its implications.
