A 24-year-old Brazilian man was formally named a suspect by the Public Security Police (PSP) in Porto, accused of publicly inciting an attack on the residence of Prime Minister Luís Montenegro. According to a police source cited by Lusa, the man urged, during a speech at a protest camp in Praça D. João I, that people find the prime minister's address and throw a brick at his house. The statements, shared in a video, led police to open an inquiry.
He was detained on Sunday and, after questioning, was placed under a Term of Identity and Residence (TIR), which requires him to stay reachable and attend when summoned. The Public Prosecutor's Office will now decide whether the evidence warrants charges. Until a court rules, he is presumed innocent.
The offence under investigation is public incitement to a crime, under article 297 of the Portuguese Penal Code, punishable by up to three years in prison or a fine. Any expulsion of a foreign national is a separate legal procedure and does not follow automatically from being named a suspect.
