Polémica com empreiteiro da PJ: «Enquanto diretor da Polícia Judiciária não sabia quem era a pessoa»

Controversy with PJ contractor: "As director of the Judiciary Police, I didn't know who the person was" The Minister of Internal Administration was on NOW to clarify recent controversies involving his position, addressing accusations from the Chega party and suspicions about works on his private property. The official categorically denied having made any threats to members of Parliament during a debate on the emergency communications system. The minister stressed that his words were taken out of context and that the intimidating attitude attributed to him constitutes an offense against the way police forces operate. Later, Luís Neves addressed the hiring of a contractor to carry out renovation work on his private home. The minister clarified that most of the public contracts signed between the construction company and the police force he previously commanded occurred at a time when he did not yet know the businessman. The governor explained that the friendship arose later and justified the absence of a written contract for the works on his property with the relationship of trust established between them. The minister also guaranteed that all public procurement procedures were transparent and scrutinized, rejecting any kind of favoritism or undue benefit, and guaranteed that he has proof of payment for the materials acquired for the work on his home. #MinisterOfInternalAdministration #PrivateWorks #PublicProcurement #Contractor #PoliticalControversy #Parliament #PoliceForces #Transparency #Accusations #BiweeklyDebate #Government #PortuguesePolitics #Scrutiny #Award #PrivateHome #NOW
