Luis Neves releases 108 invoices — and his wife's company sits at the centre of them
The invoice list for interior minister Luis Neves' works in Odemira totals 23,118 euros from 13 companies — all billed to Alcampos, his wife's single-owner company. Proof of payment is still missing.
The saga of interior minister Luis Neves’ home renovations now has numbers — and a new company in the plot. His ministry released the invoice list for the works at the family property in São Teotónio, Odemira: 108 documents from 13 different companies, totalling 23,118.19 euros. The detail everyone is talking about, though, is who they were billed to: Alcampos Unipessoal Lda., a company owned by the minister’s wife.
What is Alcampos and why does it matter?
It is a single-owner company set up on 16 June 2023 — while Neves still ran the Judicial Police — with 500 euros in capital and a declared line of business in rural tourism and short-term lodging. In practice, it was the client for the renovation works, including those by Construbarcelos, the firm of the minister’s contractor friend that also did works for the Judicial Police while Neves led it. Construbarcelos billed Alcampos two invoices of 2,500 euros each, in February 2025.
Do the accounts close the case?
Not yet. The list shows what was invoiced, not what was paid: proof of payment has still not been produced, and that is the piece the opposition has demanded from day one. Loose ends keep piling up — a swimming pool built without prior notice to the Odemira council, first described as a water tank, and the eternal question in cases like this: if everything is above board, why do the documents come out drop by drop?
The minister insists the works were paid at market prices and that there is nothing to hide; the government’s composition and duties are listed on the official portal. But in a ministry that oversees the police, appearances carry weight — and until the receipts show up, this story will keep writing itself.
