PSP catches woman demanding money from ex-husband

Notícias de Coimbra12 September 2026 at 09:57

The Public Security Police detained a 50-year-old woman for allegedly demanding money from her ex-husband. The detention occurred when authorities intervened to enforce the situation.

The defendant actively resisted police intervention during the approach. According to the police report, the woman repeatedly flailed her arms to avoid being grabbed by the officers, which hindered the authorities' action.

The case involves a financial dispute between ex-spouses, with the woman being intercepted by authorities while attempting to obtain money from her ex-husband. The PSP proceeded with the detention at the scene of the occurrence.

The woman was subsequently taken to the police station, where the legal procedures related to her detention and the crime of undue demand for money will be recorded.

Why this matters

This case directly affects people involved in marital or divorce disputes, warning about the legal consequences of demanding money coercively. The active resistance to police demonstrates the tension that can arise in family conflict situations that come to the attention of authorities.
