Suspect killed in Rolex robbery in Lisbon — Judicial Police analyses criminal history
The Judicial Police is investigating the criminal record of a man who died during a Rolex watch robbery in Lisbon, according to what Google News PT reported based on reports from Correio da Manhã, Público and Jornal de Notícias.
The suspect is said to have been struck by a vehicle during the course of the robbery. According to Público's account, the robbery victim pursued the assailant by car, hitting him, which resulted in the suspect's death. The case raises legal questions about the criminal liability of the victim who drove the vehicle.
Jornal de Notícias adds broader contextual information: the success of so-called "Rolex gangs" in Portugal is said to have inspired the emergence of new criminal groups dedicated to the theft of luxury watches.
The investigation conducted by the Judicial Police seeks to determine the background of the deceased man, identifying possible links to organised crime networks. The inquiry is ongoing and the authorities have not provided additional statements about the progress of the case.
