The National Republican Guard (GNR), via the Mafra Criminal Investigation Unit, charged two men, aged 57 and 67, on November 10 as part of the 'Final Blow' operation. The operation followed an investigation initiated approximately one year prior regarding a burglary at a residence in the locality of Livramento. According to the GNR, various jewelry items, silver objects, firearms, and other goods were stolen at the time, with a total estimated value of 145,000 euros.
During the investigation, GNR personnel identified the suspects and gathered evidence regarding the possible destination of the stolen objects. In May 2026, a home search resulted in the detention of one man and the seizure of narcotics, firearms, bladed weapons, gold items, and material related to illicit activity. Two months later, in July, a new search was conducted at a gold buying and selling establishment, where relevant elements were collected to determine the fate of the stolen goods.
The investigation culminated on November 10 with the execution of four home search warrants and five non-home search warrants in the areas of Alta de Lisboa, Galinheiras, and Odivelas. These measures allowed the authorities to charge the two men, recover stolen goods, and seize various articles. Seized items included gold and silver jewelry pieces, more than 130 coins, 49 numismatic notes, and 70 euros in cash. Additionally, 158 cartridges of different calibers (including war ammunition), two shotguns (one with a scratched serial number and model), an alarm pistol, a nail hammer, three sabers, a pyrotechnic article, two mobile phones, a SIM card holder, and documentation related to gold sales were confiscated.
