'Gang do Rolex': 'They are individuals who have a very organized and systematized structure'

Joana Amaral Dias commented on the "Gang do Rolex" case, an organized group dedicated to scams, emphasizing that victims of this type of crime should not be stigmatized. The specialist highlighted that scams have no relation to the victims' intelligence quotient, noting that this case serves as proof of this.

The analyst also warned about the level of sophistication that organized crime has reached in the country. According to Joana Amaral Dias, the individuals involved in these criminal networks have a structure "very organized and systematized," which makes these operations particularly difficult to combat.

The "Gang do Rolex" case appears as an example of the growing complexity of organized crime networks in Portugal, where scammers apply increasingly elaborate methods to deceive their victims.
