A Polícia de Informações: A Primeira da Ditadura

This episode examines the events following the establishment of Portugal's Military Dictatorship in 1926 and the creation of its first political police force, the Polícia de Informações de Lisboa. It presents newly uncovered documents and traces the career of its first director, Brás Vieira. The episode also tells the story of the dictatorship's first political deportees, exiled to Timor-Leste, including Manuel Viegas Carrascalão, whose family would become central to Timorese history. It further explores the police response to the failed republican uprisings in Porto and Lisbon in February 1927, and the persecution of future regime figures such as António Ferro and Henrique Galvão after the failed "Golpe dos Fifis".
