Equipment stolen from Tancos warehouses, which the public prosecutor claims to be in uncertain hands, represents a risk to "the safety of someone" but not to internal security, said General Raul Cunha . to DN
"To the security of someone a yes, to homeland security", said the army (in reform) of the Special Forces Special and Special Operations Specialist, before the hypothesis that this material even exists and be in the possession of unknown [Trentechargesexplosives(suruntotalde102)twogrenadesoffensivesforinstructionandanoffensivegrenade(150autotal)undéclencheurdecompressionandseuxgrenadesacrymogeneleddeputdesquecounterhatheadisparuetandqu'itisinconnu
According to the newspaper Expresso, on Saturday, the deputy told the court that there was still material recovered a year ago in the Tancos warehouses and that he would be in the possession of strangers which would have pushed the opposition to ask the Tutela for explanations. The army and the Ministry of Defense said the material had been recovered
It should be noted that, as the DN reported, "there are" divergences of values " – minimal but revealing of facilitation, according to one of the sources – between the figures of this list and the quantities recovered "in the region of Chamusca . "An explanation of this fact stems from the nature of the stolen material, which, because it is intended for instruction and training, would not be the subject of systematic and daily records of output and entry. "
Thirty explosive charges (out of a total of 102), a decompression trigger, two tear gas grenades, two offensive training grenades, and one offensive hand grenade (out of a total of of 150) is the material that, according to the deputy, is still missing, in addition to ammunition 1450
For the deputy, "the existence of an armament exempted from the military institution in the possession of unknown persons presents a danger to internal security "as it can" be used in the execution of crimes related to forms of violent crimes or even terrorist acts , including explosions of [caixas Multibanco] explosive attacks ives on vans or the execution of terrorist attacks. "
Raul Cunha was one of the soldiers heard by the DN who expressed strong reservations to the existence of this material admitting that it was used in the It would help explain, he added, the fact that the army chief said that everything had been recovered instead of assuming that there was still gaps
"MacGyver makes the war with a match"
The real risk that the amounts mentioned by the deputy represent for internal security is minimal, they argued. Colonel Nuno Pereira da Silva noted that "there is no reason to take a glass of water." In addition to the multiple burglaries of several banks that took place before the theft of the warehouses of Tancos the material still missing is dangerous "but, in the particular case of the 30 charges of explosives, "the more he gives two or three assaults," said this infantry officer in the reserve. "It is possible to have access in civilian life to explosives, used in quarries and mines that may have similar effects" added
"Compared to what they stole, [o que falta] is nothing "DN the lieutenant-colonel paratrooper
It is recalled that among the equipment stolen from Tancos were 44 anti-tank grenades, four explosive devices, 120 offensive grenades and 20 tear gas grenades (in plus ammunition of 9 mm)) . When the robbers returned the boxes stolen, was discovered – not registered by the army – with a hundred firecrackers .
According to a senior officer in the assets, the robbery perpetrators kept this material tantamount to "ending up with a five-euro bill after stealing a bank and returning a million."
"To say that this endangers homeland security, is to say that with the Glock missing from the PSP [pistolas de 9 mm] you can start the third world war," said the source, adding with humor: "Of course, MacGyver goes to war with a match. "
There is no doubt that in addition to being a case of" settling charges " a new controversy between political parties broke out between Minister Azeredo Lopes and the right-wing parties (PSD and CDS ) and a new controversy over the Chief of Staff of the Army (CEME) General Rovisco Duarte
Azeredo Lopes goes to Parliament on Tuesday for a hearing with the Defense Committee which is officially intended to speak at the recent NATO summit.Maybefore in anticipation of this, the Ministry of Defense issued a note on the case Sunday reminding that the case is under investigation and under the secrecy of justice.
Thus, Azeredo Lopes – who oversees the Military Judicial Police (PJM) – has nothing to say, since all clarifications "can only be provided by the deputy" – which can also be a way of telling the owners of "[19659019] The Defense Minister and the Chief of the Defense Staff (left) are again under heavy fire from the PSD and CDS because of a rack robbery [19659020] As for Rovisco Duarte, a second term like CEME is seen as very doubtful by several sources in the branch because of the negative internal repercussions of several small and large decisions – beginning with the exoneration ( no prosecution) commanders of the five units involved in the security of the reserves (after reinstatement), the way he admitted that a box of firecrackers no longer appeared or, more recently, two coronésis appointed commander of the command regiment .
