PSP assigns officer involved in Odair Moniz death to administrative duties, without weapon
According to Google News PT — Crime (pt), the PSP officer responsible for the killing of Odair Moniz returned to duty under restricted conditions: unarmed and removed from usual operational functions, performing only administrative tasks.
The measure follows the death of Odair Moniz, a Cape Verdean citizen shot by the PSP in Lisbon, a case that triggered protests and widespread debate about the use of force by Portuguese authorities.
The officer's return to active duty, albeit in limited functions, was confirmed by the police force without additional details being released about the ongoing disciplinary or judicial process.
The death of Odair Moniz remains under investigation. The case prompted demonstrations in several Portuguese cities and led political officials and associations to demand greater scrutiny of PSP procedures in high-risk interventions.
