GNR dismissed hit-and-run hypothesis in immigrant death but PJ refused to investigate

Diário de Viseu8 September 2026 at 19:15

The Guarda Nacional Republicana (GNR) dismissed the hit-and-run hypothesis in the death of an immigrant, but the Policia Judiciaria (PJ) refused to investigate the case, according to the known facts.

The two officers involved are accused of two aggravated kidnapping crimes and one qualified homicide crime, in a process involving particularly serious circumstances.

The facts date back to March 2024, the date on which the events now being examined in the context of this judicial process are said to have occurred.

The case raises questions about the collaboration between the two security forces and the procedures adopted in the initial investigation of the immigrant's death.
