The Foreigners and Borders Service announced today that its officers stopped and arrested a German citizen at Faro airport as she was wanted for extradition and subject to a European Arrest Warrant.
The would be air passenger, a 55-year-old woman, is a convicted computer fraudster sentenced in Germany to 15 years in prison.
The woman was heading to the USA via the UK but the SEF spotted that she was subject to an arrest warrant and thwarted her plans.
The woman was taken to the court in Évora and from there to Beja prison where she will be held pending a trip back to Germany.
