Drug trafficking and consumption happen in full view of everyone in downtown Lisbon: TVI followed a PSP operation

TVI Notícias6 September 2026 at 20:20

Drug trafficking and consumption in downtown Lisbon has been the biggest challenge for authorities. TVI followed a PSP operation at the site, documenting the situation.

The feeling of insecurity in the area is mainly due to open-air drug use and the visible presence of dealers. Even with the constant passage of police through the area, dealers do not refrain from committing the crime.

Authorities face difficulties in controlling the situation, with illegal activity happening literally in full view of everyone.
