Cristóvão - More Allegations Of Corruption, Blackmail Against Him

I wonder just how far reaching this is going to be?

That has also been mentioned here, Tony:

IMO, it may well bring down the whole lot of them, once the PJ start following the money. Reading the online comments, it's impossible not to get the impression that Cristovao and co are loathed in Portugal.

If they have the Portuguese public behind them, I don't see the PJ and the Attorney General holding back this time.

I was reading the comments of the various papers too. The citizens are not happy at all.

Yep, he's going down.......

IMO, Cristóvão and anyone involved with him is likely to be made an example of, Tony.

Trying to frame people? Wire-taps? Blackmail? All allegedly, of course.

Portuguese people sound sick to death of these gangsters.

Oh dear, looks like Paulo Pereira Cristovao will cause a whole lot of problems for other soccer clubs.

I would be very surprised if he has confined the alleged wire-tapping and alleged blackmail to the soccer world, Tony.

Already thought of that. I can see a certain Alan Marc Logoa popping up somewhere in this.

Definitely.

Me too, Tony. We've joked often enough about Gonc and the Stooges seeming unable to bear being separated; it's a bit late now for Gonc - or anyone else associated with that lot - to start pretending they haven't heard of Cristovao.

I bet there are some interesting names turning up in those siezed documents.

Which one?

Strange how Alan was so very loud a couple of weeks ago and now he is silent.
Wonder if O' Crime will be writing a story on the soccer scandal?

Which one?

Both, would be good.

I'll settle for the Portuguese one, though.

Interesting point, Tony - O Crime does have an insider's view of all this, after all.

I think that's the publication Max mentioned?

EmailPrintSporting vice-president Paulo Pereira Cristovao stepped down on Thursday after being charged with defamation by the public prosecutor following a police raid on the club's headquarters, he said in a statement reported by local media.


Bet on Football - Get £25 Free.."Today searches were carried out to my house, to my company and to the Jose Alvalade Stadium, as part of a process in which I was charged with defamation," Cristovao said in the statement reported by state news agency LUSA.

"My decision to quit does not mean that I accept that I am guilty, on the contrary, it is only to serve the higher interests of Sporting," he added.

Local media reported that Cristovao had taken steps to damage the reputation of match referee Jose Cardinal ahead of the Portuguese Cup quarter-final between Sporting and Maritimo at the Alvalade on December 22.

The prosecutor's office said it had opened an investigation into the affair in December after Portuguese Football Federation president Fernando Gomes had raised concerns about illegal activity.

The FPF took Cardinal off the Cup match for what it called "personal reasons". Sporting beat fellow top flight side Maritimo 3-0 and have since reached the final in which they will play Academica on May 20.

Sporting issued a statement on their official website on Thursday saying: "Searches were made at the Jose Alvalade stadium by the prosecutor's office and police and we fully cooperated."

Sporting added that Cristovao, a former police inspector, had asked to be relieved of his duties but the club said they could not provide further details about the reasons for his request or why the police had searched the club.

Referee Cardinal, 45, a former postman from Porto, was a linesman at the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa.

Thanks, Tony and Sadie, it isn't getting any better, is it?

Nope, and, it is only going to get worse.

I think so too, Tony. If Cristovao is capable of carrying out illegal wiretaps, allegedly gathering information about wives and families, and of dispatching some lackey all the way to Madeira in an attempt to smear someone, over football...

THEN WHAT IS HE CAPABLE OF DOING ABOUT RATHER MORE IMPORTANT MATTERS, LIKE MISSING LITTLE GIRLS?

' Act of revenge of former plot referee José Cardinal '-JN

By RedactionA- THE A +

An act of revenge of the former de José Cardinal led to the complaint made by the latter, to Sporting and subsequently the PJ, the existence of a deposit of two thousand euros to the account of the referee, two days before the confrontation between lions and the cup of Portugal by sea. Concerned are suspected of corruption. Cardinal is former employee of CTT and, currently, does not exercise other activity other than arbitration. The couple's relationship has ended in conflict and the former Bank sends documents, removed from the House of Cardinal, that will be proof of deposit to the account of a Bank allegedly helper in Madeira.

Sounds like Cristovao picked on the wrong person to make an enemy of?
