Summary

Miguel Arruda, a far-right Portuguese politician, has been accused of stealing luggage at airports and was expelled from his party, Chega.

Police reportedly found missing suitcases at his home and cited surveillance footage allegedly showing him taking another person's bag at Lisbon airport.

Prosecutors confirmed an investigation unrelated to his official duties, while media reports suggested he may have sold stolen items online.
