In recent developments, Pedro Calado, the president of Funchal City Council, and Avelino Farinha, a businessman associated with the AFA Group, were apprehended on Wednesday as part of ongoing corruption investigations in Madeira and across the country. These investigations also involve Miguel Albuquerque who as President is benefiting from a position of immunity. Various national media outlets, including the Observador, have reported this information.
According to the Observador, Calado and Avelino Farinha were taken into custody to present them before a criminal investigation judge for the imposition of coercive measures. However, as of now, neither the Judiciary Police nor the Public Prosecutor's Office has officially confirmed any arrests. The situation is evolving, and further updates may clarify the details of these allegations.
