JAKARTA - Portugal Police arrested 14 suspects in the arson that allegedly caused dozens of deadly forest fires
A forest fire killed seven people and destroyed houses, factories, and tens of thousands of hectares of forest.
Prime Minister Luis Montenegro promised repressive measures against crimes related to these forest fires.
Reported by Reuters on Thursday, September 19, Salvador Pinho Ferreira de Almeida, a professor at the University of Lusofona who specializes in civil protection, told Reuters there were strong signs of criminal activity, as many fires started at night and were very strange to see so many fires and scattered around.

Researcher and criminologist Andre Inacio said arson is likely to worsen "the climate situation where we have dry forests and very strong winds", even if the first outbreak occurs accidentally.
The new fire that occurred at dawn did not happen on its own. The Prime Minister helped us by saying what really happened," he said.
