The authorities arrested a suspect for starting a fire in Vila Nova de Famalicão, in the district of Braga. The individual was identified as the presumed author of crimes related to starting fires.
The suspect was subjected to precautionary measures imposed by the court. Among the measures determined is the obligation to present himself to the authorities twice a week.
Additionally, the suspect was prohibited from carrying lighters, matches, or any other object that allows starting fires. This measure aims to prevent the individual from committing similar acts again.
The case arises in the context of an effort by the authorities to prevent and repress arson crimes, particularly relevant given the history of forest fires that regularly affect the country during the hotter months.
