The Judicial Police (PJ) conducted searches at the facilities of Matosinhos City Hall, focusing on press advisory services. The municipality has confirmed the execution of these proceedings and assured that it has provided all the documentation requested by the PJ.

The municipality is led by Socialist Luísa Salgueiro, who stated that City Hall has fully cooperated with the ongoing investigations. Specific details regarding the exact reason for the searches have not been disclosed.

The situation has generated political reactions, with the Chega party's bench at City Hall demanding urgent clarifications regarding the conducted searches. Chega's councilors highlighted the necessity for a clear position from the Socialist executive concerning the reasons that led the PJ to intervene.

This is not the first time that Matosinhos City Hall has been involved in issues related to advisory services. However, the current operation by the PJ raises questions about the management of these services by the municipality.

So far, no further details have been released regarding the impact of the searches or possible consequences for those responsible for the services in question. The situation continues to be closely monitored by the media.

Matizinhos City Hall and the PJ have not reiterated details about timelines for the conclusion of the investigations, which may leave the public and political operators awaiting more information in the coming weeks.
