Portuguese judicial police detained a 40-year-old woman in Barcelos over suspected qualified fraud offences worth more than 160,000 euros. Police said the suspect is linked to seven crimes of qualified fraud alleged to have happened between 2021 and 2025. Investigators believe the activity “earned” her total proceeds of over 160,000 euros. In their statement, the police said the woman allegedly used false documentation to carry out fraudulent acquisition of various goods and services. They pointed to repeated activity focused on the health sector and the motor trade. The suspect, who has no job and has previous convictions for fraud, will be brought before a judge for questioning, where prosecutors will seek bail measures.
