A man in Porto was detained after removing his electronic monitoring bracelet while on home confinement for domestic violence, the Portuguese Judicial Police (PJ) said. PJ said the case involved a European Arrest Warrant issued by Portuguese judicial authorities in 2024. After the bracelet was removed, the man fled to Spain for a period of time and returned to Portugal this year. During the period he was missing, he was convicted of aggravated domestic violence and given a prison sentence of three years and six months, which the court ruling says was final. Several other criminal investigations are also under way, PJ added. The PJ said the man was handed over to prison services to serve the sentence imposed by the courts. He remains in custody as PJ continues its investigations linked to the other cases.
