The arrest took place as passengers disembarked from a flight from Dubai.
"The arrest took place at the time of disembarking passengers from the Emirates airline flight, coming from Dubai, as he was a fugitive in Lisbon and embarked for Dubai on February 19, with Luanda as his final destination on the current date", reads the note.
The detainee will be "presented to the Public Prosecutor's Office for subsequent legal procedures", highlights the SIC, highlighting that investigations continue "around this complex process, for the full clarification of this fraudulent scheme".
