Suspected illegal immigrants missing in Algarve
A group of suspected illegal immigrants that arrived by boat in Vila Real de Santo António, may be made up of as many as 16 people, despite only three being intercepted by police so far, leaving police to look for those remaining.
At the time of going to press, the PSP had detained three people in the incident. Hugo Marado from the PSP said that there were indications that the detainees were part of “a larger group”, with officials suspecting a total of 16 people, allegedly from Morocco, although the authorities highlighted that this “does not mean that they all arrived on the same vessel”.
