A 40-year-old man was detained by the GNR in the Vidigueira area for suspected repeated domestic violence against a 34-year-old woman, authorities said. The arrest took place on Monday, November 9, as part of an investigation by the GNRs NIAVE unit in Beja. Police said the woman was the suspects partner. The GNR added that the suspect had already been targeted by a previous case launched in early 2025, which resulted in prohibition of contact and an order to stay away from the victim. Following alleged non-compliance with those measures, his legal status was escalated. Police said an obligation to remain in the home was applied. In the course of this year, police allege the suspect again used physical and psychological violence against the same victim. He was arrested outside of the circumstances of being caught in the act. The suspect was brought before a judge on Tuesday, November 10, at the Tribunal Judicial de Cuba. The court applied measures including an identity and residence requirement, a ban on contacting the victim directly or indirectly, and the obligation to remain in the home, monitored by electronic surveillance. Until the technical conditions are in place to install the electronic monitoring devices, the suspect will remain in pre-trial detention at the Beja prison.
