The Marine Police, through the Lisbon Regional Command, has been carrying out a major crime prevention operation in the Samuco Beach area and surrounding maritime areas since early Monday morning. Authorities identified more than 400 shellfish harvesters and seized vehicles. For the first time, NCIS is identifying people who came from South America, namely Venezuela.
This operation involves about 100 agents, about 15 vehicles, as well as the skills of two special units of NCIS, the elite division of this police force – the Tactical Action Unit and the Central Criminal Investigation Division. This operation aims to ensure the public safety of citizens and local residents, as well as to identify the leaders of human trafficking and illegal shellfish harvesting networks in the Tagus, which are becoming increasingly violent, whose main protagonists are illegal shellfish harvesters.
This is the second major police operation this year, which was one of the priorities of its general commander, Vice Admiral Dores Aresta. This operation involves the cooperation of information services on the analysis of operational risks.
