Man detained in flagrante delicto in Funchal with two kilograms of hashish
A 33-year-old man resident in the municipality of Funchal was detained for drug trafficking and remanded in custody, according to observador.pt. The Public Security Police (PSP) seized approximately two kilograms of hashish in the course of the operation.
The detention resulted from the execution of residential search warrants, supported by a police investigation described by the PSP as "complex". The suspect was detained in flagrante delicto.
At the time of detention, the man was carrying a "significant quantity of narcotics", already prepared and packaged for direct sale to consumers. The residential search also made it possible to confirm the nature of the substances through tests, identifying the approximately two kilograms of hashish seized.
In addition to the narcotics, objects and equipment potentially used in drug trafficking were also seized.
The PSP does not indicate in its statement the exact date of the operation. The detainee was subsequently presented to a criminal court judge, who applied the most serious coercive measure provided for by law: remand in custody.
