That's because Portugese law very helpfully allows for 'suspect' to be attached to someone as an official designation - the police can declare it or the 'witness' can ask for it to be applied to him if he chooses. Apparently it grants the person being questioned certain legal rights.
In other words, it may or may not mean anything. As with everything else to do with this investigation, it pays to remember that this is all taking place in another country with a different legal system.
