Boat found in Meco: GNR rules out hypothesis of migrant landing

SIC Notícias6 September 2026 at 18:25

A boat was found in the Meco area, in Portugal, and was the subject of an investigation by the GNR. The National Republican Guard issued a statement to clarify the circumstances of the discovery.

After analyzing the evidence collected at the scene, the GNR ruled out the hypothesis that a migrant landing had occurred in the coastal area where the boat was located.

According to the GNR statement, the evidence collected appears to point to a different scenario, similar to suspicious movements that have been occurring along the Portuguese coast.

These suspicious movements are related to the fight against drug trafficking, suggesting that the boat may be linked to drug trafficking activities rather than illegal immigration.
