Interesting story about more dirty deeds in Faro:

Abduction Corruption?

BY CARRIE-MARIE BRATLEY, IN GENERAL · 18-07-2013 11:08:00 · 1 COMMENTS
A Faro assistant-prosecutor is reportedly to be investigated on suspicion of ‘moral
authorship’ in the abduction of eight-year-old Giselle Silva, who was unlawfully taken by her Portuguese father last July and kept from her Irish mother for seven months.

Portuguese national Filipe Silva was last week formally accused of kidnapping his schoolgirl daughter. It has now emerged his family may have had the help of a Faro assistant-prosecutor.
The woman, an assistant-prosecutor to the Public Prosecutor’s Office (MP) and who works in the Algarve, is, according to newspaper Diário de Notícias (DN), to be investigated by her peers for morally aiding and abetting a criminal act.

A Faro criminal prosecutor is being treated as an accessory to kidnap. We always suspected there was corruption involved.”

Who would have thought that could happen? Pcorneater

Portuguese official is investigated over Ellie ‘kidnap plot’

A PROSECUTOR in Portugal is being investigated for allegedly assisting the tug-of-love kidnap of a British girl.

Ellie Gannon was seven when she was taken by her Portuguese businessman father Filipe Silva last July. He failed to return her after a two-week break on the Algarve.

Now tapped phone calls are said to reveal the prosecutor was “colluding” with Silva’s mother.

The revelations have scandalised Portugal and come at a sensitive time when Scotland Yard officers are seeking to expand their investigation into Madeleine McCann’s disappearance.

An arrest warrant was issued after Silva breached a court order to return Ellie to her British mother Candice Gannon, 28, who lives on Madeira with new husband Philip Gannon.

In February Silva was arrested near the capital Lisbon. Ellie was later found living with his friends. During the investigation Silva was astonishingly allowed to visit Ellie on Madeira.
r
The twist in the saga happened with the announcement in a Portuguese newspaper that the legal official in Faro on the Algarve had been involved. Speaking from Madeira, Mr Gannon said yesterday: “A Faro criminal prosecutor is being treated as an accessory to kidnap. We always suspected there was corruption involved.”

Candice was outraged when a civil court decided that Silva had the right to visit his daughter, despite the fact that he was being accused of her kidnap.

Silva insists Ellie wants to be with him and said he did it because he was stopped from seeing his daughter.

Yes, we always suspected there was corruption involved in events in Faro and Portimao too; and we're being proven right every day now.
