Public Prosecutor's Office investigates suspicions regarding Lisbon City Council's housing lottery platform
The Public Prosecutor's Office (MP) is reviewing the digital platform used by Lisbon City Council for affordable housing lotteries following reports of "weaknesses" in the system. The council, which had suspended these lotteries for three months, resumed the process this Monday with a draw for 25 homes under the 'De Volta ao Bairro' initiative, claiming that security upgrades have been implemented.
Why it mattersIf you are participating in Lisbon's affordable housing programs, be aware that the city has resumed lotteries after a three-month pause for security updates, though the platform remains under administrative review by the Public Prosecutor's Office.
