Almancil arrest made in €20 million money-laundering and fraud case

fraudAnglo Portuguese police cooperation has resulted in the arrest of a man in Almancil said to be involved in a multi-million money laundering case.

The Judicial Police identified and arrested the man, thought to be a Briton, while liaising with their British counterparts.

Local police used a European Arrest Warrant to arrest the alleged fraudster. The Judicial Police later issued a statement that the man was wanted by the UK authorities to face serious tax fraud and money laundering charges.
 
The crimes of which he is accused involve an estimated €20 million.

The 58-year-old detainee will now be sent to the Évora Court of Appeal from which he will be extradited to the UK, unless he comes up with a compelling reason why he should remain free.

But great that police in both countries are working together to investigate this crime.

About time Quarteira is not mentioned, i'm embarrassed to live in Quarteira because its always in the news for all the wrong reasons, now if they could do something about using indicators at roundabouts, or not.

So, if not the UK Police - who but the routinely secretive Portuguese PJ released this news? Sad though about this Welsh woman mentioned in the Resident, held in a Portuguese jail since April for agitating a Portuguese policeman now waiting for BBC publicity to stir things up.
