The Judiciary Police (PJ) arrested 15 individuals strongly suspected of criminal association, money laundering, qualified fraud, and computer fraud, involving illicit financial movements of approximately 30 million euros. The transnational organization, managed from abroad by Angolan and Brazilian citizens, used national and international banking systems to move funds through chains of accounts, charging fees of up to 50% to 'clean' illicit proceeds. Operation 'Almocreve' also resulted in arrests in Spain and France, with 41 searches conducted across Portugal, leading to the seizure of luxury vehicles, 220,000 euros in cash, and various digital and financial evidence.
