A Portuguese businessman suspected of having committed a murder in Portugal back in 2008 has been arrested in Praia, Cape Verde.
The arrest comes after an international arrest warrant was issued by the Portuguese authorities.
The suspect, 46, has been on Portugal police’s wanted list for five years, but only now through a successful collaboration between the Department of Criminal Investigation of Aveiro and the Cape Verdean authorities has it been possible to locate and arrest the businessman who has all the while been living openly on the island.
The suspect is accused of murdering another businessman in Bairrada in March 2008. Both were involved in the pig industry.
