Father and son accused of firing at victims in drug dispute
The Judicial Police arrested two men — father and son — suspected of attempted murder in Matosinhos, following a conflict associated with drug trafficking, according to a statement released on Tuesday by the PJ.
The incident occurred in the early hours of 1 April on a public street in Matosinhos. According to the PJ, the incident took place "following an existing conflict between victims and aggressors, related to the sale of narcotic substances".
The two suspects acted in a coordinated manner: they approached the victims and fired three shots from a firearm in their direction. The victims were not hit, according to the PJ, "solely by mere chance".
The detained men are aged 45 and 19. The older suspect already has criminal convictions for offences of the same nature, having served an effective prison sentence between 2014 and 2020.
Both will be presented before the competent judicial authority for their first judicial interrogation and the determination of applicable measures of restraint.
