Gonzo's chum Paulo Pereira Cristovao arrested for armed robbery

His arrogance is astounding, Pedro.

According to that piece, Cristovao has ADMITTED to being involved in home invasions - yet he's whining to the media because he's under house arrest. Horrible, horrible apology for a man.

bb1, your words are mine, but coming from him, that is no surprise.

Of course he thinks he is special. He used to have friends in the right places.

Oh the poor baby!

There's more to it, Lily, but it's behind the CartofMuck paywall. The court case should be interesting....

Thank you for that tidbit, Bonny. How delightful is that?

here's the rest of the article :

Some of the defendants requested the opening process of the instruction, but the judge Carlos Alexandre pronounced all involved to go to trial for the crimes they were accused by the prosecution, including criminal association, theft, kidnapping, prohibited weapon possession, abuse of power , violation of domicile per employee and document forgery. the instructory decision to take the 18 defendants on trial, of which part are three officers of the Public Security Police and the cheerleaders Leo Juve Leo, known as 'Mustapha' was taken on 16 November last year. According to the order of indictment of the Central Department of Investigation and Penal Action (DCIAP), the former inspector of the PJ, two other defendants and the three police gathered information and decide which people and places to burgle by the group.

Astoundingly, the McCann-haters idolise ratbags like Cristovao, and convicted torturer Tavares de Almeida. Guess it doesn't matter to them how many crimes their idols commit, as long as they, too, hate the McCann family.

I doubt there will be much discussion about this amongst The Nasties. Although it might be amusing to see them trying to excuse it, or to distance Gonzo from his best friend.

They will completely ignore it, Sabot. Or claim poor little Paulo was framed by Evil Team McCann.

But will Gonzo take him his dinner and warm clothes on Christmas Day? Will the lovely Sofa cook it, even? Although a Mass wouldn't go amiss.

Maybe his Masonic chums will help?

Oh My God. He looks positively Develish. What a hypocrite. Add that to the list of charges.

TThe Public Ministry (MP) accused the former Sporting vice-president Paulo Pereira Cristóvão of bribery for obtaining sensitive data, including 196 football referees through finance staff also accused in the case.

In charge of the MP, completed this month and to which the Lusa agency had Wednesday access included 12 more defendants: three lawyers, an engineer, two chartered accountants, a trade, a graph and a collaborator of a bank , within their respective functions, obtained through the same three employees of a tax office in Lisbon, personal, property, banking and fiscal elements, in return for money.

A source from the defense of the former leader of Sporting says these facts "have already been tried" in the process that led to the arrest of the accused and who has read the judgment scheduled for the month of May. "We will ask the education process. The facts are precisely the same, there is back to give."

Regarding Pereira Cristóvão, the MP indicates that in 2011, as well as sports official, was managing partner of Primuslex - established in 2006 - and managed to RightExpert Unipessoal - established in 2011 by an employee of Primuslex the behest of Pereira Cristóvão - , companies that are devoted to advice and business, commercial and consulting in the area of ​​security.

In 2008, Pereira Cristóvão met Carlos Silva, who was a tax inspector by 2010, the year he retired. According to the MP, the defendant agreed to the Tax Authority database (AT) and provided elements "of personal / family, property and banking operations of various persons concerned" in Pereira Cristóvão activity, "in return for payment".

After retirement, the tax inspector came to ask the defendant Virginia Freitas, his partner and tax administrative technique in the same tax office to "to proceed to research" to obtain the information requested by Pereira Cristóvão

The MP said that "for the accomplishment of this exchange of favors" whenever Pereira Cristóvão needed taxpayer data, asked one of his officials to meet with Carlos Silva and deliver an envelope with the names to search.

"These meetings took place at least eight different situations," between June and November 2011, relates to the indictment, which reveals counterparts between 200 and 575 euros.
Pereira Cristóvão was vice president of Sporting between March 2011 and June 2012 .

One of the situations described began on June 6, 2011, when the then vice president of Sporting asked an employee of the club to send him the list of referees, assistant referees and observers of the Portuguese Professional Football League.

On that day, the then vice-president of the Steering Board of Sporting asked his secretary "who created two Excel files" with the previously sent list, which the employee performed on the computer issued to him for the exercise of functions in Sporting.

Held by the two files, on July 14 and August 10, Christopher Pereira ordered the secretary Primuslex to ask one of the company's employees to deliver those Excel lists the accused Carlos Silva.

"On July 14 and August 10, 2011, the accused Carlos Silva requested via 'email', the defendant Virginia Freitas, research all information available in AT on individuals identified in the lists, a total of 196 referees football, including the tax identification number, bank identification number, income, ownership of movable and immovable property and identification of the spouse, which came to happen, "upholds the MP.

The defendant "presented the results of research (containing data of 182 referees) the accused Carlos Silva" that led to the official Primuslex, and this to Pereira Cristóvão.

Source close to the defense Pereira Cristóvão said Wednesday Lusa that, in a preliminary assessment, this new accusation reports facts that are already being tried in the so called 'case Cardinal' - whose judgment is scheduled for Friday - reason which ponders require instruction the procedure.

Remember, these are 'just' the football-related charges, not the home invasion charges.

Cristovao is going down on that one alone.......Or is he?

With Portuguese courts, who knows, Sabot? Normal rules don't seem to apply.

Well, they can hardly have their ex PJ Officers murdered in prison by the people they fitted up. Portugal needs a prison for PJ Officers and the exes. That'll fill up quite rapidly. And then Amaral can threaten them all in one fell swoop.

Great post, Sabot.

Former PJ inspector leading consulting and research

Primus Lex has a year and already moves many thousands of euros

Large companies, which handle millions of euros, are more and more customers call consulting and research companies. These are an emerging version in the domestic market of private investigation. If the detectives who advertise in the classified pages daily hunch about the infidelities, consulting firms shall collect the large commercial and industrial information.
Primus Lex is one such company. It is about a year old and is led by Paulo Pereira Cristóvão, ex - Inspector of Judicial Police. "Here [in the company that runs] there are invoices and accounting. There is responsibility and all employees are subject to a careful choice," he says.
Paulo Cristovao who recently published a book related to police investigations relating to death, in the Algarve, the small Joana Cipriano - two weeks ago published another book on the same line, this time about the disappearance of Madeleine McCann, also in the Algarve - he says that his company, despite only having a year of activity, already moves a capital of many thousands euros, money that almost all from retainer contracts with various areas of businesses. "We also have requests to work in family matters, particularly in infidelities, but these are a very small percentage of our work," he says.
About the national reality of private detectives, Paulo Cristovao understands that most are not reliable. "They are charlatans who meet on park benches and who use and abuse the trust of the people," the former investigator of cases of banditry and economic and financial crimes, noting that "it would be logical that most of the private detectives were former police ". "It is necessary that whoever performs these tasks know you can observe people but has no authority to conduct criminal investigations."
In Primus Lex currently work full time
eight people. Paulo Cristovao guarantees, however, that there is a wider range of employees performing tasks across the country and even abroad. "International requests increase as you increase the credibility of the company," said former police, giving as an example a recent investigation that forced their staff to have to establish contacts in France and Angola.
