At the Leiria Court, six men were convicted for trafficking cocaine that was being transported in frozen squid packages. This decision reveals an unusual situation regarding the disguise methods used for drug transportation.
Among those convicted is Luís Mayer da Silva, who became known for filming an alleged attempt to bribe tax inspectors. Images from that recording were even broadcast by TVI.
The lawyer of one of the defendants revealed that an alleged internal war within the Judicial Police harmed his client, who was an informant of the institution. According to the defense, this internal situation had a negative impact on the proceedings and on how the case was handled.
