Six employees suspected of scamming passengers at Lisbon Airport
Six ground handling employees were identified by the PSP for allegedly extorting illegal baggage fees from passengers at Lisbon Airport. The suspects, who have been charged and are under investigation, demanded direct payments—in cash or via personal electronic transfers—by threatening to block boarding if the fees were not paid.
Why it matters
If you are traveling through Lisbon Airport, be aware that official airline baggage fees must always be processed through the airline's own systems; you should never pay a staff member directly for luggage, especially if they are pressuring you or threatening to deny boarding.SIC NotíciasRead original ↗
