Couple detained in Espinho for drug trafficking begins serving sentence
A 56-year-old man and a 48-year-old woman were apprehended by the PSP on Monday in the city of Espinho, a municipality in the district of Aveiro. The police operation aimed to place the two offenders behind bars to serve the convictions that had been imposed upon them for the crime of illegal sale of narcotic substances.
Arrest warrants had been issued by the court, as the sentences were already final and no further appeal was possible. The male companion was sentenced to six years and eight months in prison, whilst his female companion received a sentence of six and a half years.
According to the security force, the pair had been maintaining the illegal activity in that area for a considerable time. Officers described them as having an extensive criminal record and as being among the main drug suppliers in that coastal locality.
After being detained, they were immediately transferred to prisons where they will serve their respective sentences.
