A man suspected of kidnapping and kidnapping a minor in Évora for eight months has been released with identification and length of residence.

The measure of coercion became known this Thursday, when Carlos Conde was present at the court of Leiria.

The man was still prohibited from having contact with the minor and from traveling to Leiria, where the young woman lives.

As found out cmno grounds for detaining the man pending trial were found.

For eight months, the abducted young woman, born in Leiria, spent her days locked up in a house in Évora. She lived virtually cooped up in a room with no natural light, playing online games and watching movies on her tablet. In all these months, he spoke to only two people: the kidnapper, a 48-year-old factory worker, and his elderly mother, who, according to the authorities, has no idea about what was really going on in the house.

The young woman was found by the SP after disappearing in May 2022, taken in by a 48-year-old factory worker who was present before a judge in a kidnapping case this Thursday. “Physically, he’s fine,” said the mother. “We lack knowledge of test scores and experience. We’ll see in a few days. She will be accompanied by a psychologist,” the woman said. cm.
