PSP arrested this Thursday the owner of an establishment in Santa Cruz, Madeira, which operated outside the hours to which he was subject in a state of emergency, the security force reported in a statement.
As reported by the Madeira Regional Command, the police “detained a 60-year-old man for the crime of disobedience to the regulations in force in the State of Emergency and in accordance with the regulations issued by the Presidency of the Regional Government of Madeira regarding establishment hours ”. This arrest is the first to be made public during the state of emergency, in force since November 9.
According to the statement, the manager of the establishment was “notified on November 11, at 9:30 p.m., that he would have to close the space at 00:00 hours”, but he continued with the open space until 1:44 hours when “the supervised establishment was operating with nine people inside, consuming products, including alcoholic beverages provided by the space.”
However, “after all the procedural steps, it was presented to the Court, having been indicted and subject to the Term of Identity and Residence.”
The Regional Command of the PSP took the opportunity, in this way, to call on “all citizens, and especially the owners of establishments, to comply with the regulations issued by the Regional Government of Madeira and the General Directorate of Health”, underlining that it depends on “the mission of all to fight the pandemic and to avoid that the cases of transmission increase significantly”.
The data published this Thursday by the General Directorate of Health account for 16 new cases of covid-19 in the Madeira archipelago, which raises the accumulated number of infected in the archipelago since the beginning of the pandemic to 600 infected.
