A Polish couple has been arrested in Portugal for selling drugs for bitcoins, according to Portuguese website Pplware. This is believed to be the first-ever bitcoin apprehension in the country, even though cryptocurrencies are relatively popular in Portugal – so much so, there’s a crypto version of pre-euro national currency, called cryptoescudo.

The couple was arrested for running a synthetic drug lab in the municipality of Lourinhã, where they produced pills they would then sell throughout the world. The couple, aged 40 and 34, had been under investigation since the end of 2016 but was only now arrested by the Judicial Police (Policia Judiciária), a criminal investigation agency in the country.

The couple sold the drugs online and then shipped them via regular mail once a buyer ordered them. They got paid in bitcoin and, as such, it took authorities longer to be able to catch them.
