Portuguese authorities have dismantled a criminal network following an operation dubbed “ScamWay,” resulting in eight arrests. The suspects, comprised of four women and three men, face charges including aggravated fraud, misuse of credit card or payment data, money laundering, and criminal association. An eighth individual was arrested separately for possession of an illegal weapon. The operation targeted a sophisticated scheme involving financial crimes and illicit activities. Authorities believe the network was engaged in systematic fraud and laundering of illegally obtained funds. The investigation is ongoing, with further details expected to be released as the case progresses. These arrests represent a significant blow to criminal activity within the region.
