Summary:

  • Sandra Felgueiras summoned by parliament over twin case coverage.

  • Received a death threat shortly after the investigation began.

  • Her storage area was vandalized; only her daughter's mattress was removed.

  • Had a disturbing phone call with Wilson Bicalho, who laughed off her threats.

  • Felgueiras expresses feeling scared due to the escalating threats.

Background on the Case

The journalist Sandra Felgueiras, known for her work with TVI and CNN Portugal, has been summoned by parliament concerning her coverage of the twin case that has raised significant public attention.

Threats Received

When asked about the origin of the threats she received, Felgueiras expressed uncertainty but noted that shortly after the investigation began, she received a death threat from an unidentified number, stating simply that she would die.

Vandalism Incident

In a disturbing turn of events, Felgueiras reported that her storage area, along with those of her neighbors, was vandalized. She described the incident, stating that a crowbar was used, and while valuables from her neighbors' homes were untouched, her daughter's mattress was removed and discarded. This led her to suspect a connection between the vandalism and the ongoing investigation into the twin case.

Uncomfortable Conversations

Felgueiras recounted a particularly unpleasant phone call with an individual named Wilson Bicalho, where she mentioned her recent death threat. His reaction was a laugh followed by a dismissive comment that it was good because his client received death threats daily due to her reporting. This left Felgueiras feeling intimidated and frightened.

Final Thoughts

Reflecting on the situation, Sandra admitted, "This time I was scared," highlighting the serious implications of her investigative work amidst such threats and vandalism.
