Arguido (pronounced [ɐɾˈɣwiðu]; if male) or arguida (pronounced [ɐɾˈɣwiðɐ]; if female), normally translated "named suspect" or "formal suspect",[1] is a status in Portuguese type legal systems, including those of Portugal, Macau, Angola[2] and Mozambique.[3] It is given to a person whom the authorities suspect may have committed an offence.[1] This designation does not exist in certain other jurisdictions.[4] In a criminal investigation a person has to be declared an arguido prior to being arrested.[5] Portuguese law makes a distinction between arguido and suspect.[6]
