A Unidade de Ação Fiscal da GNR anunciou hoje que desmantelou uma rede de fabrico e venda de artigos contrafeitos, apreendendo material no valor estimado de 1,4 milhões de euros em Matosinhos e Famalicão.
Em comunicado, a GNR refere que a operação “Minho Factory” decorreu na sexta-feira, através do Destacamento de Ação Fiscal do Porto, tendo sido identificados três homens e uma mulher, com idades compreendidas entre 28 a 60 anos, por venda de produtos contrafeitos.
Os suspeitos foram constituídos arguidos e sujeitos à medida de coação de termo identidade e residência, refere.
No âmbito de uma investigação dirigida pelo Departamento de Investigação e Ação Penal de Braga, que visou o combate à comercialização e fabrico de vestuário contrafeito, associado a práticas de evasão e fraude fiscal, foi dado cumprimento a 17 mandados de busca, dos quais 10 em locais de fabrico, armazenagem, distribuição e de intermediação de venda de produtos contrafeitos, quatro em domicílios e três a veículos.
Da operação, resultou a apreensão de mais de 60 mil peças de vestuário, entre casacos, roupa interior, camisolas, vestidos, polos, calças e calçado, cinco toneladas de malha, 6.330 etiquetas, logótipos e botões de marcas conhecidas, 1.150 peças de corte (moldes), 486 cortes para estampagem de marcas registadas e três máquinas industriais de confeção.
Foi apreendida documentação diversa, nomeadamente registos contabilísticos informais, como medida cautelar.
“A atividade criminosa desmantelada consistia no fabrico de vestuário e calçado em garagens, anexos de residências e zonas industriais, com utilização fraudulenta e não autorizada de marcas e patentes registadas no Instituto Nacional da Propriedade Industrial (INPI) e sem o cumprimento de quaisquer obrigações declarativas em sede dos impostos sobre os rendimentos e do IVA”, refere a GNR.
O produto que confecionavam tinha como destino a comercialização ilícita em feiras e mercados ou através das redes sociais e ‘sites’ de venda eletrónica.
Esta ação contou com uma equipa de 68 militares da Unidade de Intervenção e do Destacamento de Ação Fiscal do Porto, e, ainda, com o apoio da Policia de Segurança Pública.
Dois cirurgiões do hospital de Famalicão, e mais 9 elementos do hospital de Aveiro, vão durante 15 dias para Guiné-Bissau.
Estes profissionais vão viajar com uma missão, a de operar 200 pessoas (na sua grande maioria crianças) no decorrer das duas semanas, de forma totalmente gratuita.
Esta equipa, que embarca no dia 22 de Fevereiro, leva consigo todo o material necessário para as intervenções cirúrgicas, bem como todo o conhecimento para partilhar com médicos e enfermeiros locais nas formações que pretendem realizar.
O regresso a Portugal está marcado para o dia 9 de Março.
A Associação Comercial e Industrial de Vila Nova de Famalicão prepara-se para mudar de instalações para a Casa do Louredo, antiga sede da ADRAVE – Agência de Desenvolvimento Regional do Vale do Ave.
A novidade foi avançada pelo presidente da ACIF Fernando Xavier Ferreira, em entrevista à Cidade Hoje que pode ser escutada este sábado entre as 13h00 e as 15h00.
Com o objetivo de concentrar serviços e melhorar o apoio aos associados, a ACIF está a já a preparar esta mudança de instalações, que deverá ficar concluída nos primeiros dias de Fevereiro.
O serviço de urgência do hospital de Vila Nova de Famalicão é dos mais rápidos no atendimento na região Norte. A novidade foi avançada, esta terça-feira, pelo presidente do Conselho de Administração do Centro Hospitalar do Médio Ave. Na sessão solene comemorativa do décimo aniversário das urgências hospitalares, António Barbosa conferiu que «os nossos serviços de urgência situam-se regularmente entre o 3.º e o 4.º lugar dos mais rápidos no atendimento da região Norte. E são serviços de grande complexidade, no sentido que atendem uma grande percentagem de doentes graves». Aliando a complexidade dos doentes à rapidez na resposta, «significa que o nosso serviço de urgência está bem organizado», realçou.
Apesar dos resultados, a satisfação não é plena, garantiu António Barbosa. «Temos uma equipa jovem a dirigir o serviço; o serviço de urgência apoia-se, depois, noutros serviços hospitalares, e temos profissionais muito ambiciosos que querem continuar a melhorar a prestação dos cuidados de saúde à população. Esses números melhorarão ainda mais no futuro», garantiu.
Segundo análise da administração do Hospital, os cerca de 245 mil habitantes da zona de influência hospitalar «têm razões para confiarem nos serviços de urgência». Mas, realça António Barbosa, «espero que nalguns momentos sejam compreensivos face às dificuldades que, por exemplo, estes surtos de gripe acabam por ter na capacidade de resposta».
O novo ciclo de conferências do Museu Bernardino Machado é sobre as relações entre Portugal e o Brasil na I República (1910-1926). Começa no dia 25 de janeiro, pelas 21h30, com o debate sobre o tema: “Lei fundamental brasileira e a Constituição Portuguesa de 1911”. O conferencista é o professor catedrático Paulo Ferreira da Cunha.
Neste âmbito, estão já agendadas nove conferências com a participação de investigadores e académicos especialistas na temática. Os encontros, de entrada livre, vão decorrer nos meses de janeiro, fevereiro, março, abril, maio, junho, setembro, outubro e novembro, habitualmente às sextas-feiras, pelas 21h30, no Museu Bernardino Machado, situado na rua Adriano Pinto Basto, na cidade famalicense.
Para o coordenador científico do Museu Bernardino Machado, Norberto Cunha, o tema deste novo ciclo de conferências é de grande pertinência. «Há muito que sabemos que a “identidade” do nosso país se fez de fora para dentro, ou seja, foram os Descobrimentos que acabaram por configurar e dar unidade ôntica (língua, usos, costumes, história, etc.) a esta região da “Hispânia”. E neste processo, o Brasil foi fundamental, não apenas por via dos milhares de emigrantes que o “aportuguesaram”, mas pelas riquezas imensas que fluíram para Portugal e aqui vicejaram (pelas remessas dos emigrantes e dos “brasileiros” de torna viagem, por exemplo), que alteraram a paisagem urbana e rural do país e contribuíram, decisivamente, para a sua modernização», referiu

Store and/or access information on a device (397 seeking consent)
Cookies, device or similar online identifiers (e.g. login-based identifiers, randomly assigned identifiers, network based identifiers) together with other information (e.g. browser type and information, language, screen size, supported technologies etc.) can be stored or read on your device to recognise it each time it connects to an app or to a website, for one or several of the purposes presented here.
Examples:
Most purposes explained in this notice rely on the storage or accessing of information from your device when you use an app or visit a website. For example, a vendor or publisher might need to store a cookie on your device during your first visit on a website, to be able to recognise your device during your next visits (by accessing this cookie each time).
Use limited data to select advertising (278 seeking consent, 96 using legitimate interest)
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times an ad is presented to you).
Examples:
A car manufacturer wants to promote its electric vehicles to environmentally conscious users living in the city after office hours. The advertising is presented on a page with related content (such as an article on climate change actions) after 6:30 p.m. to users whose non-precise location suggests that they are in an urban zone.
A large producer of watercolour paints wants to carry out an online advertising campaign for its latest watercolour range, diversifying its audience to reach as many amateur and professional artists as possible and avoiding showing the ad next to mismatched content (for instance, articles about how to paint your house). The number of times that the ad has been presented to you is detected and limited, to avoid presenting it too often.
Create profiles for personalised advertising (294 seeking consent)
Information about your activity on this service (such as forms you submit, content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (for example, information from your previous activity on this service and other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (that might include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present advertising that appears more relevant based on your possible interests by this and other entities.
Examples:
If you read several articles about the best bike accessories to buy, this information could be used to create a profile about your interest in bike accessories. Such a profile may be used or improved later on, on the same or a different website or app to present you with advertising for a particular bike accessory brand. If you also look at a configurator for a vehicle on a luxury car manufacturer website, this information could be combined with your interest in bikes to refine your profile and make an assumption that you are interested in luxury cycling gear.
An apparel company wishes to promote its new line of high-end baby clothes. It gets in touch with an agency that has a network of clients with high income customers (such as high-end supermarkets) and asks the agency to create profiles of young parents or couples who can be assumed to be wealthy and to have a new child, so that these can later be used to present advertising within partner apps based on those profiles.
Use profiles to select personalised advertising (300 seeking consent)
Advertising presented to you on this service can be based on your advertising profiles, which can reflect your activity on this service or other websites or apps (like the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects.
Examples:
An online retailer wants to advertise a limited sale on running shoes. It wants to target advertising to users who previously looked at running shoes on its mobile app. Tracking technologies might be used to recognise that you have previously used the mobile app to consult running shoes, in order to present you with the corresponding advertisement on the app.
A profile created for personalised advertising in relation to a person having searched for bike accessories on a website can be used to present the relevant advertisement for bike accessories on a mobile app of another organisation.
Create profiles to personalise content (114 seeking consent)
Information about your activity on this service (for instance, forms you submit, non-advertising content you look at) can be stored and combined with other information about you (such as your previous activity on this service or other websites or apps) or similar users. This is then used to build or improve a profile about you (which might for example include possible interests and personal aspects). Your profile can be used (also later) to present content that appears more relevant based on your possible interests, such as by adapting the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find content that matches your interests.
Examples:
You read several articles on how to build a treehouse on a social media platform. This information might be added to a profile to mark your interest in content related to outdoors as well as do-it-yourself guides (with the objective of allowing the personalisation of content, so that for example you are presented with more blog posts and articles on treehouses and wood cabins in the future).
You have viewed three videos on space exploration across different TV apps. An unrelated news platform with which you have had no contact builds a profile based on that viewing behaviour, marking space exploration as a topic of possible interest for other videos.
Use profiles to select personalised content (107 seeking consent)
Content presented to you on this service can be based on your content personalisation profiles, which can reflect your activity on this or other services (for instance, the forms you submit, content you look at), possible interests and personal aspects. This can for example be used to adapt the order in which content is shown to you, so that it is even easier for you to find (non-advertising) content that matches your interests.
Examples:
You read articles on vegetarian food on a social media platform and then use the cooking app of an unrelated company. The profile built about you on the social media platform will be used to present you vegetarian recipes on the welcome screen of the cooking app.
You have viewed three videos about rowing across different websites. An unrelated video sharing platform will recommend five other videos on rowing that may be of interest to you when you use your TV app, based on a profile built about you when you visited those different websites to watch online videos.
Measure advertising performance (300 seeking consent, 132 using legitimate interest)
Information regarding which advertising is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine how well an advert has worked for you or other users and whether the goals of the advertising were reached. For instance, whether you saw an ad, whether you clicked on it, whether it led you to buy a product or visit a website, etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of advertising campaigns.
Examples:
You have clicked on an advertisement about a “black Friday” discount by an online shop on the website of a publisher and purchased a product. Your click will be linked to this purchase. Your interaction and that of other users will be measured to know how many clicks on the ad led to a purchase.
You are one of very few to have clicked on an advertisement about an “international appreciation day” discount by an online gift shop within the app of a publisher. The publisher wants to have reports to understand how often a specific ad placement within the app, and notably the “international appreciation day” ad, has been viewed or clicked by you and other users, in order to help the publisher and its partners (such as agencies) optimise ad placements.
Measure content performance (138 seeking consent, 56 using legitimate interest)
Information regarding which content is presented to you and how you interact with it can be used to determine whether the (non-advertising) content e.g. reached its intended audience and matched your interests. For instance, whether you read an article, watch a video, listen to a podcast or look at a product description, how long you spent on this service and the web pages you visit etc. This is very helpful to understand the relevance of (non-advertising) content that is shown to you.
Examples:
You have read a blog post about hiking on a mobile app of a publisher and followed a link to a recommended and related post. Your interactions will be recorded as showing that the initial hiking post was useful to you and that it was successful in interesting you in the related post. This will be measured to know whether to produce more posts on hiking in the future and where to place them on the home screen of the mobile app.
You were presented a video on fashion trends, but you and several other users stopped watching after 30 seconds. This information is then used to evaluate the right length of future videos on fashion trends.
Understand audiences through statistics or combinations of data from different sources (198 seeking consent, 67 using legitimate interest)
Reports can be generated based on the combination of data sets (like user profiles, statistics, market research, analytics data) regarding your interactions and those of other users with advertising or (non-advertising) content to identify common characteristics (for instance, to determine which target audiences are more receptive to an ad campaign or to certain contents).
Examples:
The owner of an online bookstore wants commercial reporting showing the proportion of visitors who consulted and left its site without buying, or consulted and bought the last celebrity autobiography of the month, as well as the average age and the male/female distribution of each category. Data relating to your navigation on its site and to your personal characteristics is then used and combined with other such data to produce these statistics.
An advertiser wants to better understand the type of audience interacting with its adverts. It calls upon a research institute to compare the characteristics of users who interacted with the ad with typical attributes of users of similar platforms, across different devices. This comparison reveals to the advertiser that its ad audience is mainly accessing the adverts through mobile devices and is likely in the 45-60 age range.
Develop and improve services (200 seeking consent, 107 using legitimate interest)
Information about your activity on this service, such as your interaction with ads or content, can be very helpful to improve products and services and to build new products and services based on user interactions, the type of audience, etc. This specific purpose does not include the development or improvement of user profiles and identifiers.
Examples:
A technology platform working with a social media provider notices a growth in mobile app users, and sees based on their profiles that many of them are connecting through mobile connections. It uses a new technology to deliver ads that are formatted for mobile devices and that are low-bandwidth, to improve their performance.
An advertiser is looking for a way to display ads on a new type of consumer device. It collects information regarding the way users interact with this new kind of device to determine whether it can build a new mechanism for displaying advertising on this type of device.
Use limited data to select content (62 seeking consent, 22 using legitimate interest)
Content presented to you on this service can be based on limited data, such as the website or app you are using, your non-precise location, your device type, or which content you are (or have been) interacting with (for example, to limit the number of times a video or an article is presented to you).
Examples:
A travel magazine has published an article on its website about the new online courses proposed by a language school, to improve travelling experiences abroad. The school’s blog posts are inserted directly at the bottom of the page, and selected on the basis of your non-precise location (for instance, blog posts explaining the course curriculum for different languages than the language of the country you are situated in).
A sports news mobile app has started a new section of articles covering the most recent football games. Each article includes videos hosted by a separate streaming platform showcasing the highlights of each match. If you fast-forward a video, this information may be used to select a shorter video to play next.
