ASAE Inspections Lead to Closure of Lisbon and Portimão Accommodation Establishments

In a recent operation, the Food and Economic Security Authority (ASAE) conducted inspections at local accommodation establishments (AL) in  Lisbon and Portimão, resulting in the shutdown of several establishments. Here are the key details:

1. Lisbon Inspections: In the historic area of Lisbon, an AL establishment received a notification for closure due to:

1. • •  Lack of registration (RNAL)
     • Non-compliance with safety rules
     • Absence of mandatory insurance
     • Hygiene conditions violations
   • Approximately 10 people were staying in this establishment, engaging in illegal activities.
   • The Public Security Police (PSP) supported ASAE during these operations.

2. Suspension of Activity:

1. • Two AL establishments—one in Lisbon and another in Portimão—had their activities suspended for the following reasons:
     • Safety rule violations
     • Lack of mandatory insurance
     • Risk to health and safety of guests due to non-compliance with hygiene and structural conditions.
   • Notably, pest infestations were discovered in one of these establishments.

3. Complex Case in Portimão:

1. • In Portimão, only the suspended establishment was inspected due to a serious pest situation.
   • The complexity of the case warranted focused attention.

4. Collaboration and Future Actions:

1. • ASAE’s actions in Lisbon were carried out in collaboration with the Public Security Police (PSP).
   • ASAE remains committed to:
     • Healthy and fair competition among economic operators.
     • Consumer safety.
     • Verifying compliance with existing regulations.

Stay tuned for further updates as ASAE continues its vigilance across the national territory.
