The PSP Regional Command had to adapt the gymnasium to collect part of the innumerable detainees from the hashish trafficking network that was dismantled yesterday, in what is already one of the largest operations of this nature carried out in Madeira.

As DIÁRIO reported in today’s print edition, one of the suspects arrested yesterday by the PSP is an agent of the Rapid Intervention Team who works at the Funchal police station. He is suspected of being involved in the drug trafficking network, allegedly covering drug trafficking.

The suspected agent has already been disarmed

It is known that the regional commander has already issued orders to disarm the target agent who must be the subject of an internal investigation process to determine disciplinary responsibilities – in addition to the criminal process that is under the supervision of the Public Ministry – and that, given the Question of the facts that can be proven, may, in the latter case, determine the suspension of the police activity or even the expulsion of the PSP corporation.

The involvement of the police element, seen with a discreet and disciplined professional by the other agents, in the now dismantled drug trafficking network, is generating a mixed feeling of perplexity and indignation in the corporation.

As we reported in the print edition, the criminal investigation has been underway for several months, eventually detecting that the drug followed a similar circuit to that of other substances, such as protein supplements for gyms and bodybuilders, supposedly with the aim of reaching consumers. .

More than 30 home searches

The mega operation was carried out discreetly. She went out to the field from 6 in the morning yesterday and ran until around noon. Shortly after the first rays of sun, a vast police contingent heavily armed and armed with house search warrants broke into more than 30 houses and establishments, taking the suspects who were to be arrested by surprise.

EL DIARIO knows that about 20 kilograms of hashish, prohibited weapons, four cars and a motorcycle were seized, all with large capacity, and a large amount of money. Assets that allegedly result from the drug business.

An information that must be confirmed by the PSP Regional Command in the press release to be issued in the next few hours.

This large-scale operation resulted in a large number of arrests. Proof of this is the fact that the defendants have exhausted the capacity of the Funchal police station, which does not have enough detention rooms for everyone.

DIÁRIO learned that the PSP Regional Command had to adapt the gym itself to retain, in safety conditions, a large part of the defendants who await order to be present at the first judicial interrogation in the Funchal Court, which should take place this afternoon with a view to implementing enforcement measures.
