  • 1920: Miguel II of Braganza, head of the Miguelist branch of the Portuguese royal house and lifelong exile, formally renounces his claim to the Portuguese throne in favour of his son Duarte Nuno of Braganza. The act helps reconcile the two surviving lines of the dynasty and clears the way for the eventual unification of the Casa Real de Bragança after the death of Manuel II.
  • 2001: Death of Marshal Francisco da Costa Gomes in Lisbon, aged 87. Career soldier, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces and President of the Portuguese Republic from 1974 to 1976, he was — alongside António de Spínola — the senior military figure of the Carnation Revolution and the man who guided Portugal through the most turbulent phase of decolonisation and the transition to democracy.

PJ seizes over two tonnes of cocaine and dismantles network smuggling drugs into Europe by sea

📍 Setúbal⚖️ Legal#crime-report+1 more

The Judiciary Police (PJ) seized more than two tonnes of cocaine from a speedboat on the high seas, southwest of Cabo Espichel, as part of an investigation that dismantled a criminal group smuggling drugs into Europe. In a statement released this Saturday, July 25, the PJ announced that on Thursday, it intercepted and boarded a high-speed vessel (EAV) approximately 50 nautical miles southwest of Cabo Espichel, within the national Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), carrying a total of about 2,627 kilograms of cocaine. Four men—two Spanish nationals, one English, and one Albanian—were arrested. The operation was conducted by the PJ's National Unit for Combating Narcotic Trafficking, in coordination with the Navy, the National Maritime Authority (via the Maritime Police), and the Air Force. According to the police, the operation, codenamed 'Buongiorno', was part of an investigation that led to the dismantling of a criminal group dedicated to introducing large quantities of cocaine into the European continent. The investigation began recently following information shared through the Maritime Analysis and Operations Centre – Drugs (MAOC-N), as part of international police cooperation and in coordination with Italian authorities. In addition to the drugs, various items used in the navigation and transport of the cocaine were seized. The PJ will provide further details at a press conference scheduled for late morning, attended by officials from the Judiciary Police, the Navy, the National Maritime Authority, and the Air Force.
