Work-Related Kidnapping Incident in Lisbon Raises Concerns

Published on

A shocking incident in Lisbon has come to light, where a 56-year-old Brazilian man was allegedly kidnapped due to a work-related dispute. The victim, an employee at a restaurant on Rua dos Condes, was rescued by the PSP after being held captive in a small cubicle for five consecutive days. This alarming case has prompted an investigation by the National Counterterrorism Unit (UNCT) of the Judicial Police (PJ).

The kidnapping incident unfolded when the victim was reported missing by concerned colleagues. After five days of captivity, he was found in a small cubicle, appearing physically unharmed but understandably shaken. Upon his release, he informed the authorities that he had been held captive since Thursday, leading to immediate action from police.

The UNCT has taken over the investigation, focusing on the circumstances surrounding the kidnapping. Initial reports suggest that the motive behind the crime was related to a labor dispute, although further details are still being uncovered. Authorities are working to gather relevant facts and identify individuals involved in the incident.
