A 51-year-old man, who had been evading justice after being convicted for the crime of embezzlement against Social Security, was apprehended by the Judiciary Police (PJ) this week in the Alcácer do Sal area, within the district of Setúbal.
In a statement sent to Notícias ao Minuto, inspectors disclosed that the man, who owns several service provision companies, was hiding on a remote and hard-to-reach estate.
Prior to this, and “for a long time,” he was moving between Portugal and Spain, persistently eluding the authorities.
Following his capture, the man was transferred to the Castelo Branco Prison Facility.
