Amadeu Guerra extinguished the Lucília Gago think tank on September 2, 2026, transferring its functions to the DCIAP. The group, established six years prior to mitigate fraud risks in EU funds, was criticized for lacking direct impact on public prosecutors. Despite this, the group's strategic, preventive mission continues, with materials planned for future strategic planning under the DCIAP. The PGR's decision to close the group was contested by its members, who argued it did not negate the group's ongoing value.
