The Judicial Police (Polícia Judiciária) detained a 35‑year‑old foreign national in Cascais who is wanted by Morocco on suspicion of belonging to a criminal network that facilitated illegal immigration. Portuguese reports say the alleged network operated in 2022 and charged large sums to migrants; the PJ arrested the suspect following cooperation with foreign authorities. Residents in Cascais and those with immigration‑related contacts should follow official PJ statements as the case may proceed to extradition or further judicial steps.
