Portugal has been facing a significant increase in violence during robberies, with thieves increasingly resorting to the use of weapons to intimidate and attack victims. This escalation of violence has worried authorities and the population.
Since 2023, PSP and PJ have been on the ground investigating the Rolex gang, an organized group responsible for various crimes. The authorities have been working together to identify and dismantle this criminal network.
The Rolex gang originated in Latin American countries, suggesting it is an international criminal organization with ramifications in Portugal. The investigation by Portuguese authorities aims to determine the full extent of this group's activities in the country.
