The Judicial Police (PJ) participated in the investigation, during which the cybercriminal structure that laundered more than 38 million euros was liquidated.
The perpetrators infiltrated the computer systems of the victims and tricked them into transferring large sums of money to fake company accounts. In Portugal, this group “created” four companies and opened 17 bank accounts under three false names.
PJ confiscated three million euros on Portuguese soil. The national authorities are also responsible for issuing two house search warrants and two European arrest warrants.
Operation SEFCRIME 2.2 was led by Europol and supported by the French, Hungarian, Spanish, Israeli, Croatian and Hungarian police.
