Miguel Albuquerque refused to speculate on the sudden arrival of 60 Judicial Police (PJ) officers this morning. Speaking to journalists he said “I’m not going to comment on anything, I don’t know anything. I’m here, as you can see and I don’t really know anything.
Local news outlet, JM reported first-hand, that a team of PJ personnel landed late this morning at Madeira airport, aboard a Portuguese Air Force plane.
It is estimated that there are about 60 personnel who will conduct the investigation on regional soil, a substantially smaller number than the one that surprised Madeira at the end of January, but still large, indicating the realization of several avenues of investigation in a process that remains unidentified.
This comes after Correio da Manhã reported that a company operating out of the Madeira Free Trade Zone was selling weapons on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
