Captain Fernandez received an SMS in English from an unknown number that worried him. An anonymous person, addressing him as “Captain”, confirmed that he had “business” to discuss relating to the “diamonds”. He affirmed: “It is of good quality and I would like to sell it. I can take it to you if you want to see it.”
The soldier, part of the 12th contingent of the national force deployed in the Central African Republic and stationed in that country since the end of last year, wasted no time. First, he registered the contact and recognized through WhatsApp the photo of the author who sent him the message on January 13. Then, since it was a service cell phone, he asked the MINUSCA communications center for a list of Portuguese soldiers who had already used it. In this way, you can understand who will be the real recipient of the message. He soon learned that there had been at least four military personnel since the 8th mission of the national force deployed in the Central African Republic with this service number.
