A large-scale operation by the Polícia Judiciária (PJ) targeting illegal immigration through sham marriages is currently underway.
This Wednesday, the PJ launched a significant operation aimed at dismantling a network that recruited impoverished women to marry immigrants in exchange for money, facilitating the latter's acquisition of Portuguese nationality.
Key Details of the Operation
- Target of the Operation: The network specifically targeted vulnerable women, offering them financial incentives to enter into marriages of convenience with immigrants seeking Portuguese citizenship.
- Arrests Made: Several Portuguese nationals have already been detained, with estimates suggesting the number could rise to dozens.
- Leading Unit: The operation is being spearheaded by the PJ's Cybercrime Unit, highlighting the sophisticated nature of the network's operations.
This operation underscores the ongoing challenges and efforts to combat illegal immigration and the exploitation of legal loopholes in Portugal.
