Allegations of Aggression and Official Response
In a recent inquiry by Lusa regarding alleged aggression reported by several media outlets, the Communication and Public Relations Division of the GNR (National Republican Guard) responded without directly acknowledging any act of aggression. The response, attributed to Major David dos Santos, clarified that the incident depicted in the video took place on Saturday, January 25, in Perafita, Matosinhos. It stemmed from a traffic accident, which led to the arrest of the driver involved for driving under the influence of alcohol.
Disciplinary Procedure Initiated
The official statement further emphasized that following a review of the footage in question, a disciplinary procedure has been initiated to investigate the circumstances surrounding the events captured in the video. This step indicates that the GNR is taking the matter seriously and is committed to understanding what transpired.
Unanswered Questions About the Officer’s Status
Lusa also sought clarification on whether the officer involved remains on duty or has been suspended, but no response was provided regarding this aspect of the situation. This lack of information leaves some questions unanswered about the ongoing status of the personnel involved in the incident.

In a related note, it was reported that the GNR recently detained a 52-year-old man in Caminha for possession of illegal weapons. This incident highlights the ongoing efforts of law enforcement agencies to address various criminal activities within their jurisdictions.
