Origins

It is the successor organization to the Polícia Internacional e de Defesa do Estado ( PIDE ) under the dictator António de Oliveira Salazar. PIDE was a secret police and was directly controlled by him. Nominally, he was assigned to the Ministry of Justice. PIDE was renamed the Directorate- Geral de Segurança Serviço de Informações de security scheme (DGS ) in 1968. DGS was repealed in 1974. Because of the PIDE / DGS activity lasted the creation of a new intelligence agency more than a decade that a civilian intelligence agency was founded. After the assassination of a representative of the PLO in the Socialist International in 1983, a terrorist attack on the Turkish Embassy, the Portuguese government saw it as a necessity to establish a new intelligence service.
