Eleven women and seven men are being tried at the Santarém Court.

The fraudster contacted online sellers and promised quick payments via MBWay. He convinced victims to activate the app and provide their secret code, then transferred thousands of euros to his personal account.


The case involves two separate proceedings for crimes committed in the municipality of Fronteira

The European Central Bank's Vice‑President said it would be marvellous if Europe had a payments system like Portugal's MB Way, endorsing the idea of a common instant‑payments solution across the EU.

He noted that, among its advantages, it would be a means of payment and would not bear interest.
