Police Operation in Parliament
The Public Security Police (PSP) conducted a search operation at the Assembly of the Republic to seize travel bags belonging to Deputy Miguel Arruda. This operation was executed under a judicial warrant and with the authorization of the Assembly’s presidency, alongside the agreement of the Chega parliamentary group.
Details of the Operation
Today's searches and seizures were led by a magistrate from the Public Prosecutor's Office, with full cooperation from the Assembly. The Chega party confirmed that they granted access to the police and judiciary to Arruda's office after alerting the Assembly President last Thursday and requesting the removal of the bags via email.
Background on Miguel Arruda
Miguel Arruda, who was elected from the Azores electoral circle, is under suspicion for stealing bags at airports and has already been named a suspect. He recently left the party and is now an independent deputy, no longer part of the Chega parliamentary group.
Previous Searches
Last week, the PSP conducted searches at Arruda's residences in Lisbon and São Miguel. He has maintained his innocence, asserting that the 17 bags found in his home belong to him.
