The 27-year-old male was arrested by the National Police last Thursday, 06, in Porto da Furna, following a search of the luggage of passengers disembarking at this port.
According to a police source, the young man, born on the island of Santiago and resident in Pico Senhor do Mundo, was carrying 2,427 grams of dried weed, "Padjinha", in his luggage, which was immediately seized by the authorities.
After being arrested in flagrante delicto, the individual was submitted on Friday to a first judicial interrogation and the Public Prosecutor's Office applied preventive detention as a measure of coercion due to evidence of drug trafficking crimes.
