Correio da Manhã12 September 2026 at 09:16

An anonymous letter was received in October 2021 containing a report against a drug cartel. The letter warned of the presence of dangerous drug dealers in a certain area.

In addition to mentioning the drug dealers, the anonymous letter also revealed the existence of a criminal scheme related to a prostitution network.

The document also made reference to the location known as White Elephant, where part of this criminal activity allegedly took place.

The authorities are said to have received this report that linked drug trafficking with the operation of a prostitution network at that location.

Why this matters

The anonymous report reveals that the White Elephant, a notorious location in Lisbon, continues to be the scene of serious criminal activities, including drug trafficking and sexual exploitation. This exposure alerts residents and authorities to the need to strengthen security in an area that has historically been associated with organized crime.
