A 62-year-old suspect pointed a shotgun at his neighbour in Murça
The octogenarian former priest was accused by the Public Prosecutor's Office of fraud, continued usurpation of functions, and rape. The sexual coercion charge was dropped after the victim refused to testify.
The “Brancos na Praça” event, taking place in Murça, Vila Real, between May 29 and 30, will feature thirty exhibitors of wine, olive oil, and honey, with the presence of local producers from the municipality.
In addition to rape and sexual coercion, he is also being tried for qualified fraud and the continuous usurpation of functions.
His story has been the subject of countless reports, articles, and even a film. In April 2023, the municipal executive inaugurated—rightly so—the “Soldado Milhões” House Museum.
The concerts he performed with Roquivários are remembered on Posto Emissor by Midus, the group's vocalist/bassist and one of the leading figures of the Portuguese rock boom of the early 80s. “We always asked for beer and water. That day, what water? We had glasses with something in them”
The leader of Chega received 28.69% of the vote in Murça, a municipality traditionally held by the PSD. Marques Mendes managed only 19.57%. Why? “Down there they have everything; here we have nothing.”
