Two Brazilian workers died in Belas, Sintra, after a mobile crane tipped over while they were painting a building. The Sintra City Council confirmed the construction site lacked the necessary permits and had not notified the municipality of the work, leading the council to refer the case to the Public Prosecutor's Office.
