A speedboat was found stranded on Moledo beach, in the municipality of Caminha, in Portugal. The vessel was discovered in an area of difficult access and showed signs of having been abandoned hastily.

The authorities verified that the vessel has no type of registration or documentation that allows its identification. This situation is considered suspicious by maritime and police authorities.

According to the information released, this type of vessel is typically associated with drug trafficking. Speedboats are frequently used by smuggling networks due to their speed and maneuverability in coastal waters.

The competent authorities have initiated an investigation to determine the origin of the speedboat, its owners, and the purpose of its presence on that beach. The investigation operations are underway at the scene with the support of various entities.
