Sebastião Bugalho, a leading official, has again defended the use of vehicles seized by the Judiciary Police (PJ) by officials within the Ministry of Internal Administration (MAI). He downplayed recent controversies surrounding the practice, stating that current MAI head, Luís Neves, is not the first to utilize such a vehicle. Bugalho insists this is not an isolated incident and has precedents within the ministry. Separately, the final report investigating the Glória Elevator accident will not be released until March. The delay adds to ongoing scrutiny regarding the incident and the safety of public transport in Lisbon. Bugalho’s comments aim to deflect criticism and provide context to the ongoing debate regarding MAI practices. The official offered no further details about the specifics of the vehicle use or the elevator investigation timeline.
