"It's the justice working": Marcelo avoids political trials over the archiving of the Spinumviva case

Portugal’s President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa has commented on the ongoing Spinumviva case, highlighting delays in its resolution. He pointed to the legal framework of preventive inquiries as a key factor in the prolonged process.

Speaking on the matter, Rebelo de Sousa clarified that the final decision on whether to shelve the investigation lies with the Public Prosecutor’s Office. His remarks come as the case continues to draw public attention.

The Attorney General, Lucília Gago, currently holds the authority to oversee such decisions. The President’s statements suggest that procedural rules, rather than political influence, are shaping the timeline of the inquiry.

The Spinumviva case remains under review, with the Public Prosecutor’s Office responsible for its outcome. Rebelo de Sousa’s comments underscore the role of legal procedures in determining how long the process will take.
