The Judicial Police (Polícia Judiciária) launched a large‑scale operation across Portugal targeting the far‑right group known as “1143”, carrying out some 65 searches and detaining more than 30 people on charges including incitement to hatred, assault and criminal association. Media outlets report extensive seizure of neo‑Nazi material and say suspected cells linked to Mário Machado were among those targeted; one report gives a higher total of 37 detainees. Police framed the operation as a national effort to stop hate crimes against immigrants and the counterterrorism unit took part in the raids. Residents, particularly immigrant communities, should follow official PJ statements and local policing updates as the case moves to potential prosecutions or further detentions.
