SAPO Notícias12 September 2026 at 12:55

The Judicial Police detained this morning in Lagos, in the district of Faro, a foreign national man, a farm worker by profession, suspected of killing a couple of businessmen for whom he worked. The operation was carried out by the Southern Directorate of the PJ.

The victims' bodies were hidden by the suspect in a cistern, where they were later discovered by authorities. Investigations indicate that the crime occurred on the property where the farm worker provided services to the couple.

Authorities have not disclosed the identities of the victims nor the approximate date on which the double homicide is believed to have occurred. The suspect was brought before court for initial questioning, having been placed under precautionary measures.

Why this matters

This homicide case has shaken the community of Lagos and the Algarve, raising concerns about safety in labor relations within rural properties. Readers in the region may feel impacted by this being a crime involving trust between employer and employee, and by occurring in a tourist area where such cases are rare.

A severe sequence of violent encounters between humans and bears in the US has raised alarm bells between mid-August and early September, with attacks reported in states such as Washington, Colorado, New Mexico, and Alaska. The most serious case was the death of a 67-year-old man at his residence in New Mexico, in addition to multiple victims hospitalized with serious injuries. Experts explain that the increase coincides with the hyperphagia phase, when bears enter a compulsive search for calories — consuming up to 20,000 daily — to accumulate fat reserves before hibernation.

Bitcoin mine in Mexican mountains leaves cartels under suspicion

Mexican authorities discovered a clandestine bitcoin mining operation in the mountains of Tlaola, Puebla, suspected of links to organized crime and money laundering. The operation was detected due to abnormal energy consumption and machine noise, leading to the seizure of 300 graphics processing units, 80 medium voltage terminals and eight satellite internet antennas. This is the fourth operation of this type discovered in the region since the beginning of last year, all near the Necaxa hydroelectric dam, where operators were stealing electricity. The investigation, conducted by the Attorney General's Office, the Navy and the Puebla Secretariat of Public Security, is expanding to neighboring municipalities to determine whether there is an organized network behind the operations. According to Chainalysis, cryptocurrency transactions associated with criminal activity more than doubled in 2025, reaching approximately 154 billion dollars.
