A Brazilian national wanted by authorities in the Netherlands for the alleged murder of a young man has been arrested in Portugal by the Portuguese Aliens and Border Service. The arrest came after the man was suspected of a document forgery offense when he presented an Italian ID at Lisbon airport. Portuguese authorities checked his true identity and discovered that he was wanted by Dutch authorities in connection with an alleged murder case. It is believed that the murder could be related to a case of cannibalism, as police found in his suitcase a plastic package with several pieces of meat, a bandage, clothes with traces of blood, and a cell phone.
The contents of the suitcase are being analyzed by specialists in Portugal. In the Netherlands, the death of the 21-year-old and the relationship between the two individuals are being investigated. The detainee remains in Portugal awaiting questioning and measures to be taken by the judge.
In conclusion, this case is an example of the importance of cooperation between the authorities of different countries in the fight against crime. Thanks to the collaboration between Portugal and the Netherlands, it was possible to capture a suspect in a serious crime and bring him to justice for an investigation into his possible involvement in a homicide.
