What happened

"Operation Puerto Rico", carried out by the Food and Economic Safety Authority (ASAE), also led to the seizure of 14 tickets.

Why it matters

Portugal's Food and Economic Security Authority (ASAE) has detained six people for the crime of price speculation in the sale of tickets for Bad Bunny concerts, who is performing this Tuesday and Wednesday at the Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica, in Lisbon.

Common ground

In a statement shared on social media, ASAE said this took place in the context of a "criminal prevention operation" carried out "in recent days", codenamed "Puerto Rico", which also led to the seizure of 14 tickets.

Perspective signals
