Tavira pensioner loses €230,000 in cash

Members of the Tavira GNR have arrested a 45-year-old man wanted in connection with the theft of €230,000 in cash, the property of a local pensioner.
 
A police operation has been carried out in Tavira and Olhão as part of the investigation into the theft after 13 search warrants were issued for homes, a commercial establishment and eight vehicles as well as an arrest warrant.

The case started when the Tavira pensioner complained that he has been relieved of €230,000 in cash. The searches yesterday resulted in the seizure of six cars; computer equipment, four mobile phones and several rare coins.

 
The weaponry that the GNR discovered included five shotguns, a rifle, knives, three air-guns, a starting pistol, a defence spray can, a baton and some replica guns.

The GNR has not revealed news as to the whereabouts of the cash.

most portuguese keep their money in the bank of alentagio so the the tax and finances cannot help themselves without asking. You only need a shovel to open a account.

Here is a pensioner who reasonably did not want to entrust his money to a bank. But his solution was not secure; €230 000 in one place? Under his mattress? And where did he get this money from? Sounds highly suspicious.
