Public Prosecutor accuses Vizela mayor of domestic violence
The Public Prosecutor's Office has charged Vítor Hugo Salgado, the mayor of Vizela, with domestic violence against his wife. The incident allegedly occurred during a heated argument on February 27, 2025, resulting in physical injuries to the victim. Despite initially filing a complaint, the wife later withdrew it, leading to the case being archived. However, the prosecutor reopened the investigation, culminating in formal charges. The Socialist Party has suspended Salgado's political support due to these allegations, emphasizing that such behavior contradicts the party's values. They may consider further actions based on the prosecutor's findings.
