An 82-year-old foreigner wanted by the French justice system for money laundering and tax fraud was arrested by the Judicial Police (PJ) in the Lisbon area.
The suspect, who is subject to a European arrest warrant, committed five tax offences between January 2009 and July 2020. During the same period, the elderly man was also responsible for numerous financial flows between bank accounts, companies and funds. According to a statement released by the AC, the intention was to “conceal and whitewash amounts that were not declared”.
Brought to the Lisbon Court of Appeal by inspectors from the Criminal Information Department of the SP who executed the European warrant, the elderly man remained at large pending extradition to France.
