The seafood was seized by the Directorate General for Natural Resources, Security and Maritime Services (DGRM).
The former star of European football said goodbye to his playing career early, and instead of still performing on football fields because he is still in playing years, he is engaged in illegal fishing.
Also a ship owner, Coentrao opened the business without a license and has already been ordered to close the company’s doors. DGRM inspectors found 12 tanks full of seawater that housed lobsters, shrimps and crabs.

Of the more than a ton of seized seafood, 760 kilograms did not have invoices that had fishing permits. The other 260 kg had an invoice and documentation about the catch, but his business did not have a license to work and sell farmed fish. There are suspicions that Coentrao was involved in illegal capture of water and booty directly from the sea.
Iaho was arrested, the authorities have already canceled the record and the decision, but the former European football champion with Real Madrid is expected to face a financial penalty.
Coentrao (36) ended his career at only 32 years old and devoted himself to fishing and life at sea, which his father taught him. He played for greats like Real Madrid, Sporting, Monaco, Benfica and many others.
In his career, he won numerous titles in Real Madrid, with which he became a double winner of the Champions League, a double club world champion, a double champion of Spain and so on. He was the champion of Portugal with Benfica, and he played 52 games for his country’s national team.
