One-year-old baby detected in anti-drug operation at Lisbon airport
A couple was detained at Lisbon airport during a PSP operation against drug trafficking. The suspects were transporting cocaine in their luggage and allegedly had more drugs inside their bodies. Travelling with them was a child of just twelve months of age.
The detention took place as part of a police operation targeting international drug trafficking. PSP inspectors found quantities of cocaine in the couple's belongings. Furthermore, the authorities suspect that the detainees were also transporting illicit substances in their bodies.
The presence of the baby in the midst of the operation raised concerns among the security forces. The child, just one year old, was with the parents at the time of detention.
The information was disclosed by TVI, which did not provide further details about the nationality of the detainees, the exact quantity of drugs seized, or whether the child was handed over to relatives or child protection services.
The case is now being investigated by the competent authorities, who will establish all the circumstances of the trafficking and the conditions in which the minor was being held.
