Career

In 1990 Benevides graduated from the Universitas Nusa Cendana in Kupang, Indonesia , with a degree in constitutional law . Back in Dili , he worked as a lawyer from 1991 to 1993. Benevides was a civil servant in Dili until 1999. During this time he took several courses in public administration and management.

In February 2000, Benevides was sworn in as a public prosecutor in the country still under UN administration (UNTAET). He was appointed Assistant Attorney General for Common Crimes on October 16, 2001 , replacing Longuinhos Monteiro who took over the position of Attorney General. Although Benevides was appointed to the broadcast system of the judicial system during the UNTAET period with the consent of Legislative Decree 1/2002, he remained in office until 2005. In 2005 he was appointed Deputy Ombudsman of the Provedoria dos Direitos Humanos e Justiça (PDHJ, German ombudsman for human rights and law ) by the National Parliament of East Timor , where he was replaced by Rui Pereira dos Santos in 2010 .  

In the parliamentary elections in East Timor in 2012 , Benevides was the third substitute candidate on the election list of the Congresso Nacional da Reconstrução Timorense (CNRT).

In 2017, Benevides received a commendation from the outgoing Speaker of Parliament, Adérito Hugo da Costa , for his services as legal advisor to the Speaker of Parliament.

On June 1, 2018, Benevides was nominated by Prime Minister Taur Matan Ruak as Minister of Justice in the Eighth Government , but President Francisco Guterres rejected Benevides, as did ten other candidates for government offices. Guterres raised ethical concerns.
