Abdul Gafar Gulam captured in Portugal by Interpol

Businessman Abdul Gafar Gulam, who was a fugitive, arrived in Portugal already in Interpol custody, accused of being part of a money laundering scheme that moved around 140 million dollars.

According to the authorities, the money in question was transferred to different countries under the pretext of importing services or products that, in practice, never entered the national territory.

Gulam had been missing from the country until he was located and arrested by Portuguese authorities, in coordination with Interpol. In the coming days, the defendant is expected to appear before an investigating judge so that the arrest can be formalized and appropriate coercive measures applied.
