Drug trafficking trial in Leiria delayed as defendant fails to appear

A drug trafficking trial began in Leiria, Portugal, but was delayed due to a prisoner's absence. The trial involves cocaine imported disguised in frozen squid. One of ten defendants could not be transported from Lisbon Prison due to a lack of resources, drawing criticism from the prosecution and defense. The judge deemed the situation unacceptable and cited the prison director. The trial is expected to resume on December 10th, with authorities asked to ensure the defendant's presence.
