Cacuaco – At least 12 Angolan citizens have been arrested by the National Police (PN) and the Criminal Investigation Service (SIC), in Luanda, accused of incitement to violence, rebellion and insult against the Angolan State, its symbols and organs.
Several denunciations and complaints from the population about the dissemination of videos, audios and texts through several digital platforms, with contents punishable by law, contributed to the arrest of the alleged criminals.

According to the Police spokesman, two individuals who were trying to leave the country for Spain, with a fake travel visa, were also arrested by the criminal at Luanda International Airport.
The police chief added that a 30-year-old Vietnamese citizen was also arrested accused of trafficking ivory and rhino horn, while he intended to leave Angola for Dubai.
The Vietnamese citizen was carrying 26 kilograms of ivory worked into bracelets, necklaces, beads, as well as elephant tails, the police chief explained.
The perpetrators have already been presented to the Public Ministry for criminal accountability.
