The Public Security Police arrested 570 people during a week of inspection operations. The arrests occurred within the scope of control and surveillance operations carried out by Portuguese authorities during this period.
During the same operations, four deaths were recorded on Portuguese roads. This number of fatalities raises concerns about road safety in the country during this period.
The PSP inspection operations normally cover traffic controls, suspect identification, and detection of various crimes. The high number of arrests indicates intense police activity during the week in question.
The authorities did not specify which crimes led to the arrests nor the exact circumstances of the four deaths on the roads. The balance of operations was made public after the end of the inspection period.
