Centro PJ arrested 13 people aged between 20 and 60 years in the Porto metropolitan area on suspicion of belonging to a criminal organization that operated on the Internet and caused damage to companies and individuals amounting to more than one million euros.
The investigation was prompted by a complaint filed earlier this year in Castelo Branco. The group will be led by “two or three responsible people who will supervise the others in hundreds of transnational computer and economic-financial crimes,” said Fernando Ramos, coordinator of the PJ Center. They posed as bank employees, sending emails warning them of fraudulent transactions on their accounts and thus obtaining personal codes that should never be shared.
