The Lisbon PSP Metropolitan Command announced today that the ton of hashish seized on Friday is worth 3 million euros, in an operation that resulted in the preventive detention of three of the six detainees. “This Nomad Process has been underway for three years and focused on the criminal activity of this group with an impact in Lisbon, but with links with other cities and also with the islands,” said Commander João Prisciliano during the presentation of the operation, which has three years running and under which 10 kilos of cocaine and 50 kilos of hashish had already been seized.
During the press conference that took place this afternoon in Lisbon, Commander João Prisciliano explained that these approximately 2 million individual doses have a value of 3 million euros for the buyer of the lot, which means that they would be worth more when they reach the consumers.
This morning, six people were present before a judge, all of them of Portuguese nationality between 22 and 35 years old, three of whom are in preventive detention and another three are under house arrest.
To these amounts is added the ton of hashish seized in two vans on Friday during an operation that took place on the A2, which was the largest seizure of the last decade, according to the PSP.
In addition to the ton of hashish, around 350,000 euros in cash and six large-capacity vehicles, a revolver and a watch valued at 250,000 euros were also seized, said Commissioner João Prisciliano.
“This operation began three years ago and, in the form of a pyramid investigation, it went up until it reached the main distributor, who led us to this apprehension,” said Commissioner João Prisciliano, concluding that the drug probably came from North Africa.
The figure now released is much higher than the number of doses that had been presented this afternoon in the initial PSP statement, which pointed to “the largest seizure of the last decade, with 158,200 doses of cocaine.”
