The Portuguese government has issued special death compensations to the families of two service members who died in the line of duty.

In one instance, the government approved a payment of 205,000 euros to the parents of Sergeant Diogo Duarte, who died during physical training at the Santa Margarida Military Camp in September 2024. An investigation determined the fatality resulted from an accident during a battalion movement.

Separately, the parents of GNR officer Jorge Manuel Monteiro, who was fatally struck by a vehicle while performing traffic regulation duties in the Alcobaça area, will receive 230,000 euros. The compensation, formalized by the Minister of Internal Administration, was calculated based on legal frameworks following an investigation that confirmed the accident occurred while the officer was on duty.
