Lar de Selmes. Former mayors of Vidigueira acquitted

Former mayors of Vidigueira, Manuel Narra and Helena d’Aguilar, were acquitted of corruption charges by the Beja Court. The judges found insufficient evidence to support the accusations of abuse of power and embezzlement. The case involved a protocol for managing a care home, which the prosecution claimed was detrimental to the municipality. However, the court concluded that there was no intent to benefit the association managing the home. Narra expressed satisfaction with the ruling, emphasizing the importance of community health initiatives. Previously, he was convicted of embezzlement in a separate case, receiving a suspended sentence.
