PJ 7 - Season 1

Homicide, rape. In this episode, the inspectors reveal a number of suspicions that lead to the arrest of Francisco Leitão, self-styled "King Ghob". It is not possible to hide the disbelief and horror of the unpunished luxury that this little guy allowed himself. Manipulation, rape, breach of trust and the homicide of three young people are part of two crimes that will cause enormous stupefaction in the surrounding community and in Portuguese society. The case will only end, definitively, when the bodies of the victims will be found and the respective families have been granted just rest.

Assault by armed forces and homicide. This is a case that stems from an ongoing investigation into the "Ninjas", a group dedicated to marginal security and involved in extortion, purchase of military-caliber weapons and other illegal activities. Through telephone interceptions, the suppliers of these weapons of war became the object of interest and related to various assaults on valuables. They are identified as the Ferreiras group consisting of four brothers and a brother-in-law. The performance of this group was characterized by exercising enormous violence in assaults. These actions culminated in a fateful way for the inspector João Sousa on January 25, 2001. The lead inspector of this investigation testified how he was able to gather proof for the haste of two facts in a case that culminated in the appalling arrest of two leaders of the organization placing an end to one sequence of assaults carried out in the area of Vale do Sousa.

Massacre. Unmeasured greed leads to a criminal act of a night club's manager in Amarante. "In these situations the criminals know how everything starts, but never how it ends."
The untimely youthful and absolute lack of notion of the consequences result in the most serious massacre in portuguese recent history. Thirteen people lost their lives inside the disco Mea Culpa, victims of felony. The national repercussion of this case motivated every north zone actives from the PJ and a few reinforcements to collect information night and day. The inspectors' depositions reveal many diligences made in this case which culminated, two weeks later, in detention.

Narcotics trafficking. Inspector Carina goes aboard a Portuguese Navy's corvette. The objective set by Inspector-Chief Ananias is to apprehend the vessel Jaan, which could be loaded of narcotics, with the support of the Air Force and special task force units in Mediterranean international waters. Inspector Cláudia Grijó, who's the leader of the case, is in the base and follows, via radio, the final moment of the approach. This is the climax of a two years' investigation, in which PJ's inspectors followed every single move of captain João Caetano and his travels dedicated to trafficking ordered by an international organization. It's the biggest apprehension ever of narcotics in Portugal.

Sexual crime. Depositions of inspectors from the Polícia Judiciária's sexual crimes department reveal the means of investigation available for this case. The rapist, motivated by luxury and egoism, made countless victims, shocking the neighbordhood of Telheiras, the city of Lisbon and the country. The police investigation dedicated all means to collect evidences and testimonies which would allow them to intercept and identify the potential suspect of these sexual crimes. Thanks to a robot portrait, the investigation got a decisive impulse - "The rapist was winning by large for some time, but the moment of detention came and he had to accept his game ended there..."

Cybercrime. The hacktivism's phenomenon arrives in Portugal through the internationalization of the group Anonymous. Nationally, between 2011-2015, several cybercrimes were performed by different groups of hackers. Soon the inspectors conclude these hackers are young people, mostly between the ages 16-21, whose pride and vanity lead to this continued practice. The unusual and surprising depoiment of a repentant hacker and the participation of three inspectors from the PJ allow the documentary to follow the investigation's steps as much as the criminal operation. It covers topics like social rehabilitation and the citizen's cybersecurity in a time where we can't live without internet and we have trouble in managing the "I" in a virtual environment.

Passional crime. PJ's inspectors are notified that a carbonized body in a very bad condition was found in the shore near the bridge Vasco da Gama. The investigation begins immediately and stopping is forbidden. Experienced depositions from three PJ's inspectors reveal the method followed and the steps taken to detain the authors of a passional crime motivated by jealousy, envy and anger. This case was concluded in a record time.

Fraud.  An investigation about a false prescription originates an inquiry that made the Ministério Público (State Prosecution), Polícia Judiciária (Federal Police) and the Ministério da Saúde (Health Ministry) unite efforts in an unprecedented way. The operation Remédio Santo is the first of several operations which ended a fraud that, in total, made the Portuguese State lose more than 100 millions of euros. This episode has the depositions of the Health Minister back then, as well as PJ's inspectors that, in a very technical and synthetic way, guide us through the highlights of the investigation, which constituted, in itself, an apprenticeship to the Polícia Judiciária. The result is an authentic lesson of how to operate and counteract a type of crime considered new at that time.
