“Given the large number of ads tickets sold above face price and under its oversight competence of e-commerce, the ASAE notified managers of sites located in Portugal to proceed with the removal of these ads, “said the director of the Criminal Investigation Unit, Domingos Antunes, told the Journal News.
The same official said that the ASAE” has taken a strategic priority to supervision of e-commerce, to the speculation crime level. “
