The man was detained in Bissau last week “following a joint operation between the Portuguese and local criminal investigation police forces, with earlier assistance from Brazil”. Mr Bastos had false documents on him when he was arrested.
In December 2011, Porto de Mós court was officially informed that the man had disappeared when he was under house arrest with an ankle bracelet in Figueira da Foz.
António Bastos was sentenced in 2010 for killing a man who had tried to break into his company when he was already handcuffed by the police.
