BBC News - Arrests over Caithness man's 'torture' in Portugal: "James Ross, 26, of Wick, was traced and taken to hospital after an operation involving Northern Constabulary and the Policia Judiciaria.
It has been claimed Mr Ross was held for 13 days and tortured.
The four men, whose names have not been released, have appeared in court in Portugal on serious criminal charges, according to Northern Constabulary.
According to reports Mr Ross had an ear, two fingers and three toes cut off and was kept in a cage in a row over an unpaid debt.
He was admitted to hospital in Faro, but has since been transferred to a hospital in Lisbon because he requires plastic surgery to his injuries.
