Organized ring charged 60-euro fees with their own terminals: the alleged luggage scam at Lisbon airport

Six Groundlink employees were identified and named as suspects in a scam at Lisbon's Humberto Delgado Airport, where they demanded fraudulent luggage fees from passengers, particularly targeting foreigners and older individuals. The suspects used their own payment terminals or cash to collect 60-euro fees, claiming baggage was oversized despite company policies; no passengers were actually prevented from flying. Airport security access cards for the suspects have been revoked, and the Public Prosecutor's Office is leading the investigation.
