The Attorney General of the Republic ordered the initiation of an inquiry into prosecutor Francisco Guedes for advertising various brands and products, such as wines, coffees, cleaning products and shaving products on Facebook, a PGR source told Lusa.

Public Prosecutor at the Regional Department of Investigation and Penal Action (DIAP) of Porto, Francisco Guedes, advertised several products on his Facebook page, as reported on Wednesday by Correio da Manhã.

The written response to Lusa reads that “the Attorney General of the Republic, in his capacity as President of the Superior Council of the Public Prosecution Service, determined the initiation of an investigation process aimed, under the terms of article 264, paragraph 2 of Statute of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, to assess the disciplinary relevance of said conduct”.

The daily adds that Francisco Guedes became a member of the Superior Council of Magistrates of the Public Ministry (CSMMP) in the previous term.
