The president of the Liberal Initiative (IL), Mariana Leitão, criticised Minister of Internal Administration Luís Neves for avoiding questions regarding allegations of abuse of power and embezzlement involving a trailer seized by the Judicial Police (PJ). The trailer was reportedly found at the facilities of Construbarcelos, a construction company owned by a contractor and friend of the minister, who has secured numerous public contracts with the PJ. While Neves claims to be gathering documents to address the accusations, Leitão accused him of hiding and criticised Prime Minister Luís Montenegro for his perceived apathy regarding the scandal.

Luís Neves broke his silence on Tuesday, July 21, during a brief statement to the media while visiting Viana do Castelo. The Minister of Internal Administration did not answer journalists' questions regarding suspected criminal activity involving the handover of a seized trailer—previously used to dismantle a drug trafficking network—to a contractor who held 17 public contracts with the Judiciary Police. However, he expressed satisfaction that a legal investigation has been opened and promised to provide explanations. Neves stated he is gathering relevant documents to address the allegations point by point, claiming he is the target of an attack on his honor and dignity. The controversy involves allegations of abuse of power and embezzlement, as the trailer, which posed an explosion risk, was allegedly handed over to a contractor who had performed private work on Neves' property. The case has been referred to the Prosecutor General, leading to an official inquiry.
