Investigation Unfolds
Tiago Telo de Abreu, a Lisbon City Hall assessor and former CDS councilor in Elvas, is under investigation for possession and distribution of child pornography. This alarming news was reported by TVI and CNN Portugal.
Details of the Case
The investigation, which has been ongoing for nearly three months, is being handled by the Public Prosecutor's Office in Seixal and traces back to events from the summer of 2023.
Ana, a key witness from Ponte de Sôr, shared her experience of conversing with a woman named Dália on the dating app Badoo, who claimed to have a 12-year-old daughter. Initially, Ana was not alarmed by Dália's admission of bathing her daughter, but soon, the conversations escalated to disturbing revelations about sexual acts involving the child.
Escalating Concerns
Ana's suspicions grew when Dália mentioned masturbating the child and discussed potential sexual encounters with adults for a price of 1,500 euros. After two weeks, Ana received messages from someone identifying as Tiago Abreu, who described sexual acts with Dália's daughter.
Legal Actions Taken
Ana reported the matter to the GNR in Ponte de Sôr, leading to a referral to the Judicial Police in Setúbal in June 2023. Following this, searches were conducted at Tiago Abreu's home on May 13, where his mobile phone and electronic devices were seized. Abreu acknowledged that an Instagram account identified by authorities belonged to him but denied writing the incriminating messages.
Additional Allegations
The investigation also includes allegations of sexual abuse made by Abreu's ex-wife, the mother of one of his children. Tiago Abreu refuted all accusations, claiming they are part of a defamation campaign initiated by his ex-wife, who he accuses of child abduction.
Abreu expressed that he is living through a nightmare, emphasizing that the situation should be treated as a parental alienation issue rather than a criminal case. Following the emergence of this investigation, he resigned from his position at the Lisbon City Hall.
