The Judicial Police arrested in Porto a foreign citizen who was wanted by the authorities of Uzbekistan. The operation was carried out by the International Cooperation Unit of the PJ.

The individual was a fugitive from the justice of his country of origin. The Uzbek authorities issued an arrest warrant so that the citizen would face trial and avoid a possible conviction.

The arrest occurs in the context of international police cooperation agreements between Portugal and Uzbekistan. The detained citizen will be subject to the extradition process.

Maritime Police rescue three people from a speedboat that ran aground in Viana

The Maritime Police and the Viana do Castelo Lifeboat Station rescued three people last night after the high-speed boat they were traveling in ran aground approximately 60 nautical miles west of Viana do Castelo.

Following the mobilization of resources from the Captaincy, Maritime Police, GNR and Judicial Police, the transfer was carried out approximately two nautical miles from the outer breakwater of Viana do Castelo.
