An official source from the PSP told Lusa news agency tonight that the Bilhete Dourado operation resulted in the
"seizure of about four thousand tickets for various FC Porto games, 44,510 euros in cash, a torch, various documentation related to the illegal sale and distribution of tickets, various computer and telephone equipment, several cameras with sets of lenses and 323 membership cards of the Super Dragões Organized Supporters Group".
13 people were also named as defendants in the context of the Bilhete Dourado operation that the PSP began today at 7:00 AM with the PSP's Criminal Investigation Division of Porto, triggering a "large-scale operation in the municipalities of Porto, Vila Nova de Gaia and Matosinhos".
The proceedings were ordered by the competent entities - Public Ministry and Criminal Examining Magistrate - and were carried out with the operational support of various PSP units, including its Special Police Unit (UEP).
This operation originated from a certificate extracted from the investigation that led to the Pretorian operation, and which aimed to execute 14 home search warrants and four non-home search warrants.
At issue is the suspicion of a criminal scheme, related to the distribution and sale of tickets associated with FC Porto, involving club employees and several members of one of its fan clubs.
Evidence was collected of the suspicion of crimes of distribution and sale of false or irregular tickets and irregular distribution and sale of tickets provided for by law.
The Public Ministry suspects "collusion" between employees linked to FC Porto and an associated company and members of the Super Dragões in the acquisition of tickets for football matches later sold on the 'black market', leading to the searches carried out today.
