New Court of Auditors law expected to clear Luís Neves of financial infractions at the Judicial Police

Parliament has approved new legislation that limits financial liability for state officials to cases involving intentional misconduct or gross negligence, excluding acts deemed merely negligent. This change is expected to result in the acquittal of the current Minister of Internal Administration, Luís Neves, regarding financial irregularities identified during his time as director of the Judicial Police, including unauthorized travel expenses and credit card limit violations totaling over 50,000 euros in 2023.
