Por suspeitas de crime de incêndio florestal, mais de 250 pessoas foram detidas este ano, estando 31 em prisão preventiva e quatro em domiciliária, foi revelado esta quinta-feira o presidente da Proteção Civil.
Na cerimónia de apresentação do balanço do Dispositivo Especial de Combate a Incêndios Rurais (DECIR) deste ano, o presidente da Autoridade Nacional de Emergência e Proteção Civil (ANEPC), José Manuel Moura, precisou que foram detidas 255 pessoas, 190 das quais pela Guarda Nacional Republicana e 65 pela Polícia Judiciária.
Dados avançados na cerimónia desta quinta-feira, segundo veicula o Correio da Manhã citando a Lusa, indicam que este ano deflagraram 8.573 fogos que consumiram 74.560 hectares, significando que a área ardida diminuiu 72% e os fogos aumentaram quase 6% em relação ao ano transato de 2025.
Assim, o presente ano de 2026 apresenta o quinto valor mais reduzido em número de incêndios e o sexto valor mais elevado de área ardida da década. No entanto, o número de incêndios aumentou este ano, o que já não acontecia desde 2022, quando deflagraram 10.368 fogos.
Segundo o ministro da Administração Interna, Luís Neves, estes resultados “mostram solidez desde o primeiro momento”, destacando a capacidade de “trabalhar em equipa” e o trabalho feito nos momentos iniciais dos incêndios.
Luís Neves considerou como “facto significativo” que 94% dos incêndios tenham este ano sido resolvidos na fase inicial de ataque, o que significa que a mobilização de meios foi mais rápida e eficaz.
No mesmo sentido, o comandante nacional da Proteção Civil, Mário Silvestre, indicou que este ano foi reduzido em 59% as ocorrências de fogo com mais de 24 horas.
Um último dado deste balanço revela que há a lamentar a morte de três bombeiros, dois dos quais no combate aos fogos.

The Limassol permanent criminal court sentenced four men to life imprisonment for the premeditated murder of Thanasis Kalogeropoulos on Friday.
The court concluded that the guilt of all four was proven “beyond all reasonable doubt” and that the killing was indeed planned, with premeditated murder carrying a mandatory life term.
The men, aged between 23 and 46, faced 11 charges between them, with the court also finding them guilty of the remaining counts, which included conspiracy to commit murder, possession, transport and use of firearms, as well as arson.
The 24-year-old, who also faced a charge of aiding and abetting murder, was cleared of that count.
Kalogeropoulos, 55, was killed on October 30, 2023, in a car park next to a beach restaurant on Amathus Avenue in Limassol, on his way to a morning swim; a post-mortem found he had been shot ten times.
Police said he was shot at close range from a vehicle by two people, one using a pistol and the other a Kalashnikov.
The attackers then set fire to their getaway vehicle and fled on a motorcycle.
Kalogeropoulos was “well known to authorities” for his previous involvement in organised crime.
Police had alleged that the 24-year-old was the mastermind of the plot and that another defendant was one of the two gunmen.
They said the oldest defendant owned the house where the killing was planned and the youngest was the getaway driver.
