Arguido, or arguida when the person is female, is normally translated as named suspect or formal suspect. It is a status in Portuguese type legal systems, including those of Portugal, Macau, Angola and Mozambique, given to a person whom the authorities suspect may have committed an offence. In a criminal investigation a person has to be declared an arguido prior to being arrested. Portuguese law makes a distinction between an arguido and a mere suspect. The designation does not exist in certain other jurisdictions.

Entity-backed identity for the doctrine category value this doctrine already carries as an enum fact, resolved to a doctrine entity by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The enum fact itself stays on the entity unchanged.
