Last year, there was an increase in seizures of electrical, electronic and computer equipment, footwear, parts and accessories, toys and games, and sporting goods.
In 2023, 532,214 units of medicines were cleared through customs, with the most sought-after by Portuguese consumers being for the cardiovascular and blood system, erectile dysfunction, gastrointestinal system, nervous system and psychotropic drugs.
During this period, the General Inspectorate for Cultural Activities (IGAC) ordered the removal/blocking of access to 258 domains "that illegally provided protected works and content", linked to sporting events/'live streaming' (116), video games (71), cinematographic works (57), musical works (11), literary works (two) and 'software' (one).
"It also ordered the blocking of 1,652 occurrences of the 1,660 identified relating to the illegal provision on the network in real time and for a limited duration, within the scope of viewing 134 football matches", it added.
