The Judiciary Police (PJ) confirmed, in a statement, that searches were carried out in several public entities in the Autonomous Region of Madeira, as part of investigations into suspected economic crimes and abuse of power, following the steps already reported yesterday by DIÁRIO.
According to the PJ, through the Criminal Investigation Department of Madeira, “on the 17th of March, searches were carried out at the premises of a Regional Secretariat, a public institute, and the headquarters of a commercial company.”
The case involves suspicions of crimes, such as economic involvement in business and abuse of power, tied to the purchase of a computer service for managing the life cycle of administrative offence cases and tracking offender histories.
The PJ also indicates that, “searches were also carried out in a Municipality of the Autonomous Region of Madeira, aiming to collect evidence related to the practice of crimes of malfeasance (duplicity/lying) and abuse of power, related to the vitiation of common tender procedures to fill technical assistant jobs.”
The two inquiries are led by the DIAP of Funchal, which includes a dozen criminal investigators, several teams of computer experts, and a public prosecutor.
