The Judicial Police arrested five individuals in an operation directed against a criminal group suspected of engaging in fraudulent legalisation of foreign nationals in Portuguese territory. The investigation began in September 2025.
According to information advanced by Correio da Manhã, the organisation had already been operating in Portugal for several years, developing illicit activities related to facilitating the regularisation of immigrants through fraudulent means.
The police operation aimed to dismantle the criminal network, constituting another episode in the struggle of Portuguese authorities against organised crime associated with illegal immigration and document fraud.
