The military authorities in Sesimbra denied a migrant landing on the coastal area of the municipality. The GNR and Maritime Police indicated they found a suspicious vessel during an operation, but did not confirm the presence of illegal immigrants at the location.
The investigation opened by the authorities points to other hypotheses beyond illegal immigration. Investigators believe the suspicious vessel may be related to drug trafficking or to smuggling of goods.
The authorities continue to analyze the situation and the vessel found remains under suspicion, without the initial rumors about a possible migrant landing in Sesimbra being confirmed.
