Observador8 September 2026 at 19:28

A Moroccan immigrant died in Olhão under circumstances that are being investigated. The GNR dismissed the hit-and-run hypothesis as the cause of death.

The incident was reported to the Judicial Police patrol, which received the information about the case. The Judicial Police considered there was not enough evidence for the military to go to the scene.

The authorities are investigating the circumstances of the death, but the GNR did not find elements to support the theory that the immigrant was hit by a vehicle. The case remains under investigation by the competent authorities.

Scam uses fake R$1,050 benefit to deceive victims

Cybercriminals are using a fake benefit called Auxílio Reconstrução 2026, promising R$1,050, to carry out scams. Kaspersky identified three fraudulent websites that mimic the visual identity of the official government portal. The scam takes advantage of the name of a real benefit created in 2024 for victims of floods in Rio Grande do Sul, which paid R$5,100 in a single installment. The Ministry of Integration and Regional Development issued an official alert clarifying that there is no new Auxílio Reconstrução of R$1,050 and advising the population to be wary of messages promising benefits through access to links or providing personal data on unofficial pages.

Olhão case: GNR ruled out hit-and-run in case of police officers accused of killing immigrant

Two PSP officers from Olhão began standing trial at the Faro Court for aggravated kidnapping and qualified homicide of a Moroccan immigrant. From the outset, the GNR ruled out the hit-and-run hypothesis, having alerted the Judicial Police after experts concluded that the bloodstains at the scene were not compatible with a traffic accident. The police officers deny responsibility, claiming they transported the two men to Pechão peacefully. The Public Prosecutor's Office accuses the officers of having struck the victim several times on the head and face, who died approximately 20 days later at Faro Hospital due to brain contusion. The PJ investigation only began two months after the facts.

Controversy over the exclusion of several female workers from the Eiffel Tower during the visit of a group of Hindus

The Eiffel Tower was the subject of strong controversy after the monument's organization accepted a petition to exclude female workers during the private visit of a Hindu religious group belonging to the BAPS organization, close to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The situation generated indignation, especially considering that the monument is about to pay tribute to 72 female scientists whose names will be engraved on the tower's facade, a gesture that ironically contrasted with the request to exclude the female employees.
