The Public Prosecution Service has charged two GNR officers from Esposende with misappropriating 7,440 euros from road traffic fines collected while on duty. According to a statement from the Porto Regional Attorney General's Office, the defendants, a man and a woman, devised a plan in March 2024 to keep the fine money for themselves. They would stop drivers for traffic offences and demand immediate cash payment. Instead of registering the offences in the official system and handing over the funds, they kept the money. In many cases, they provided drivers with copies of the offence notices to create an appearance of legality, but never formalised the process internally. The prosecution alleges the pair misappropriated 4,380 euros together, with one officer also misappropriating an additional 3,060 euros alone. The female officer faces 14 counts of embezzlement and 14 counts of abuse of power, while the male officer faces 27 counts of each.
