Galp Energia's CEO, Filipe Silva, has resigned amid an investigation into an alleged personal relationship with a company manager. The company stated he resigned "for family reasons," and new leadership will be announced soon. An anonymous complaint prompted the investigation by Galp's ethics committee, which is examining potential conflicts of interest. Silva had been with Galp for 12 years and became CEO in January 2023. Galp is primarily involved in oil and gas extraction in Brazil and operates a refinery in Portugal, along with renewable energy facilities.
