CPI to Luís Neves will not hear Marcelo, but approves hearings of Costa, Montenegro and Ventura
The parliamentary inquiry committee into Luís Neves' mandates at the Judicial Police rejected the hearing of Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa but approved hearings for Luís Montenegro and André Ventura. The committee discussed various proposed names for hearings, with some lacking consensus among parliamentary groups. Marcelo's inclusion was contested due to concerns about his potential insights into the PJ's exclusion from the Influencer Operation investigation. The committee will hear Prime Minister Montenegro and António Costa in writing. Ventura's testimony was approved after he claimed documents related to the inquiry went missing. Other proposed hearings were rejected, including journalists and a judge, while the inquiry will continue until November 26.
