Correio da Manhã15 September 2026 at 12:50

A joint operation between Guinean investigators and a Portuguese company allowed the recovery of rented cars that had been stolen and transported to Guinea-Bissau.

The collaboration between the Portuguese company that owned the vehicles and the investigative authorities of Guinea-Bissau was fundamental to the success of the vehicle recovery operation.

The case highlights the existence of international networks of vehicle theft and trafficking operating between Portugal and Portuguese-speaking African countries.

Why this matters

This recovery is relevant for Portuguese companies operating in Guinea-Bissau, as it demonstrates that collaboration between the two countries can result in concrete successes in combating vehicle theft. The case may influence companies' confidence in the Guinean market and in cross-border police cooperation.
