In a statement, the GNR detailed that an arrest took place in the municipality of Freixo de Espada à Cinta as part of a domestic violence investigation. The investigation revealed that the suspect had been exercising physical and psychological violence against his partner, a 28-year-old woman.
The police action resulted in the execution of an arrest warrant.
The arrested individual was presented before the Judicial Court of Torre de Moncorvo, where he was subjected to measures prohibiting him from approaching the victim within a 250-meter radius of her current residence or any future residences, as well as her workplace. This restriction is monitored through an electronic bracelet.
The court further imposed a prohibition on contacting the victim through any means, including in-person, phone, mobile, email, or social media, except within the scope of legal proceedings and/or via lawyer, prosecutor, or legal representative, and in case of necessary contact regarding the couple’s children.
The GNR emphasizes that domestic violence is a public crime, and reporting it is a collective responsibility.
