The Republican National Guard intercepted a logistical support operation for trafficking at the entrance to the Tagus River. A vessel with its lights off was detected during the early hours during an inspection operation.
The military managed to identify the situation, but a speedboat managed to escape the location before being intercepted.
Five suspects were identified by the authorities during the operation. After legal procedures, the suspects were released.
The operation reveals that authorities remain vigilant against trafficking networks in the Tagus estuary area, where a large part of national port activity takes place. Readers in the region learn that there is police pressure on these activities, although the fact that suspects were released suggests that investigations may still be ongoing.
