A 34-year-old man, wanted under a European arrest warrant issued by French authorities, has been detained by the Judicial Police (PJ) in the Lisbon area. The individual was sentenced by the French judiciary to seven years in prison for crimes including rape, kidnapping, and aggravated robbery, committed in 2021.
According to the PJ, the suspect had served two years in pre-trial detention but was released before sentencing and fled to Portugal, specifically the Lisbon area. While in Portugal, he was under investigation for armed robberies.
The suspect was presented to the Lisbon Court of Appeal, which ordered his preventive detention pending extradition to France.
