Correio da Manhã14 September 2026 at 15:52

A falconer suspected of trafficking was detained by the Judicial Police. The individual provided occasional services to Benfica, having been the handler of the eagle Vitória during a game last season held at the Estádio da Luz.

Why this matters

The detention raises concerns about security controls and vetting of people providing services at football stadiums, even in seemingly secondary roles such as handling mascots. Benfica fans may learn that an element involved with their mascot was arrested on suspicion of serious crimes.
