Yeah, right, just keep on telling yourself that as they are all marched off to jail

The club officials who wanted Cristovao kicked out must be happy men today, for sure.

Also, I get the impression that the Portuguese authorities are not going to let this one go? This is not the only corruption/gangsterism trial going on at present.

Thats how it seems Bonny.
I can't understand why this Godinho Lopes is backing the crook to the hilt. Oh I forget the dossiers

He's charged with fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, etc. He's robbed Sporting blind, thousands was being paid to him every month, yet they pay his legal fee's. Something else stinks here

Christopher Pereira firm was hired shortly after taking office

The contract between the company's investigation, accused of having ransacked the life of the Sporting players and referees, was signed with the club of Alvalade just after the inauguration of the board chaired by Godinho Lopes, at the end of March 2011. The agreement, according to the PUBLIC found, it was assumed by society Sporting Heritage and Marketing (SPM), at the suggestion of Paul Christopher Pereira, and countersigned by the vice-presidents Carlos Barbosa (who left the leadership last February) and Jose Felipe Nobre Guedes.

Both have already been heard by the Judicial Police (PJ) and claimed ignorance about the true activity of the service.

"The contract was given to me by Paul Pereira Christopher one month after joining the club," admitted the PUBLIC Carlos Barbosa, who presided at the time the SPM: "Strangely, only that it was something related to football, most within the SAD [Sports Limited Company], but he explained to me that this company was in severe debt and had no financial means for this charge.

"Thus, the former leader, told the president Godinho Lopes was aware of everything, eventually sign a contract involving the payment of "just over eight thousand euros, plus another amount, which in total should make up approximately 10 000 euros per month."

Then the document was also signed by Nobre Guedes, architect of the recent financial restructuring Leo.

"That was even though I say to PJ when I was called to testify. Only there is that I was informed that the company was suspected of spying and persecution to the players. To me, he [Christopher Pereira] just said that the contract was intended to "logistics of football '.

I never suspected it was something less than legitimate, "explained Carlos Barbosa, President of the Automobile Club of Portugal. "To my great surprise, the Judicial informed me that he had signed a paper that was the key document in this whole process.

He who made money out of Sporting for this company spy, in turn, was related to the other involving Christopher Paul Pereira, "he said.PUBLIC also sought on Thursday to contact Philip Nobre Guedes, but this was not possible. The same happened against Godinho Lopes, who traveled on Wednesday to Angola, in the company of Jose Maria Ricciardi, vice chairman of the Audit Committee and Discipline of the "lions" and president of Banco Espirito Santo Investment. In this country, those responsible for the Lisbon club seeking an investor and fresh capital for depleted Sporting SAD.

The meeting mysteriousTwo months after being accused constituted (April 12), for slanderous denunciation, accused of having set up a trap to the assistant referee Joseph Cardinal, on the eve of Sporting-Maritime, the quarter-final of the Cup of Portugal (3 - 0), Christopher Paul finally announce his departure from the club, where he joined 15 months ago.

Initially, the former vice president for property, infrastructure and relationships with the cheerleaders came to request a stay of its mandate (a situation not foreseen in the statutes of the club), but ended up going back five days later, after a long meeting in Alvalade, which lasted nine hours.A meeting that, according to the PUBLIC cleared, still raises some of his players. Initially, Godinho Lopes defended the departure of his former vice president to protect the name of Sporting, strongly supported by Luis Nobre Guedes and the vowel (and member of the PS) Paulo Rui Figueiredo. After a pause and a parallel meeting between the president and Christopher Pereira, Leo the leader changed his mind, arguing for the continuity of the leader. This argued throughout the meeting being the victim of a trap laid against him, involving his own PJ, where he has played roles as an inspector.

Arguments that were to succeed, eventually be reinstated against the wishes of many other leaders, including General Meeting led by Eduardo Barroso.

Christopher Pereira suspected of embezzling funds from Sporting

Former vice-president will be heard on Thursday in the first judicial questioning, being notified to appear in court at 13:30. Ex-leader will have acted without knowledge of the remaining direction.

Christopher Paul Pereira, a former vice president of Sporting, is suspected of having diverted funds from the club through various companies controlled by them big bucks to keep the lions Monthly retainers, without providing any service in return. THE PUBLIC know they are concerned at least 100 000 euros, but the final value of the deviation is not yet accounted for, since at this point is an ongoing financial expertise that will determine this calculation.

The former sports director will be heard today in the first judicial questioning, having been notified to appear before the Court of Criminal Lisbon by 13:30. Paulo Pereira Christopher is accompanied by his lawyer, Rogério Alves, former president of the General Assembly of the Sporting Sports Limited Company.

The investigation will serve to confront the accused with the evidence gathered by the investigation so far. And to apply to the former head of sport, which is already subject to the terms of identity and residence, new enforcement measures. The fact that Christopher Pereira yesterday he resigned the position he occupied in the direction of the club - after having already been notified to the judicial interrogation - will determine the measures of coercion, since it became useless to any request for suspension of duties and to prevent the claim of continued danger dangerous activity, a requirement of probation.

Companies used to divert the money would be managed by railways foreheads, so they try to conceal the connection to the ex-director "Leo." The contracts were awarded by Christopher Pereira, acting as vice-president of the Sporting, and would, among other things, the purpose of "protecting assets" of the club, or the players. The money would pay for an alleged scheme monitoring of footballers, were met in very few acts.

Research Unit of the National Anti-Corruption PJ is entering the final stage, having been found evidence of several crimes, including embezzlement, economic participation in business, aggravated fraud and tax evasion. Some assume that the illicit Christopher Pereira was employed for criminal purposes, which is justified by the fact that Sporting have the status of a sports association of public utility.

Investigators believe the former vice president acted without the knowledge of the remaining elements of the direction of Sporting, being held this belief in the various evidence collected so far. At this point, the investigation continues with two defendants, Christopher Pereira and an official of the security company that owns it.

The research began by having the referee Joseph Cardinal in the spotlight began in December 2011. The termination of the case - which is under the purview of 9. Th Section of the Department of Investigation and Prosecution of Lisbon - came at the hands of the authorities responsible for the Portuguese Football Federation, who anonymously sent a letter and a copy of a book of deposit made on behalf of Cardinal, which came through the Sporting. In mid-April, the PJ held a dozen searches and was accused Christopher Pereira and his staff.

It was this employee who purposely went to Madeira to make a bank deposit of two thousand euros in the account of Cardinal. The CCTV footage of the bank's video surveillance captured the moment of the operation and contributed to the identification of the accused. Christopher Pereira has since been indicted for the crime of qualified slanderous denunciation.

Conflicting interests?

It was the president of the Sporting, Godinho Lopes, who asked Rogério Alves, former President of the General Assembly of SAD, to defend the former vice president Christopher Paul Pereira.

The intention, says the lawyer Rogerio Alves, is to defend the club itself, which eventually spotted out of this controversy. However, the interests of the club and the former leader may become incompatible, if it is to prove that the former Inspector of Judicial Police disrupted the "lions" for their own benefit.

Rogerio Alves avoids talking about this possibility, but eventually admitted: "If the defense of my client come into collision with the interests of Sporting, admittedly come to renounce sponsorship."

So some of them have conveniently bogged off to Angola. Head Hunting, are they? What an incredibly naive bunch they appear to be. Nobody knows noffink. Oh Really.

Angola? I always thought it was ne'er-do-well Brits who vanished to former colonies when things got sticky? I am sure Angola is brimming with rich people who cannot wait to invest in scandal-ridden Portuguese football teams.

They may, of course, be looking for talented players - but how convenient that they should decide to go RIGHT NOW.

Some assume that the illicit Christopher Pereira was employed for criminal purposes, which is justified by the fact that Sporting have the status of a sports association of public utility.

That really isn't very good publicity.

I am beginning to suspect that apart from the two who resigned, all of the Directors are IN IT.
Either that or they are very stupid.

They may have thought they could sweep it all under the carpet, make the charges go away, Sabot? They may not have expected the PJ to find - whatever it is they have found.

And as always, the cover-up is going to do more damage than if they had just kicked Cristovao out to start with, when this first erupted.

Now, it gives the impression that a few of them knew what he was up to, and kept quiet because it suited their ends?

You have to laugh, Bonny. Sporting have been paying Cristovao to dish the dirt on....... Sporting. I think he has been blackmailing them.

Yes Bonny,
I think the wrong PJ did the investigation, one that Cristoavo couldn't lean on

I also believe that there were more than a few knew what he was up to. Perhaps the ones that knew had bigger dossiers on them, on Cristo's computer

They are a lot of very norty fibbers, Lily. Helping that Cristovao with his norty plans and cover ups and blackmailing his footie friends and getting money and fings. This just isn't cricket you know, oh my no, not cricket at all, at all.

Is there really anyone backing Amaral in Portugal now besides Joana Morais? I am surprised how few Portuguese tweets seem to back him.

ps Its well funny, innit that them wot woz not innit is innnit and them wot woz said to be innit ain't nowhere near innit. I would of thort that the ones wot is innit is now wishing they'd never got innit in the first place.

Wot? Like Cricket you mean? When you're in you're out and when you're out you're in? Well they sure are IN IT now, much to the relief of the rest of us who were never IN IT.

There's Astro, I suppose, who kindly translated Cristovao's appalling 'book'. Oh, and Textusa, of course, but he/she/it has reality issues, to put it politely.

I think that's about it, isn't it? CdM aren't going to care, as long as they sell more papers.

I fink its off grate importunce that we off improved our gramma cuz off all this.

Greenink, I like your slogun.

See. I told ya. Marxman knows how to do it.


I'm sure that everyone, like myself, have
noticed the 'quiteness' that has stiffled the
forums, the blogs and the media, and in fact,
there appears to be an erriness that only total
silence brings.
Mccannfiles is down, Joana's site has been
struck by the quite bug. Spudgun and Dr Roberts
don't post, the forums are generally inactive
and ooh soo quite and a lot of posters either
sit dormant or have left the building!
So, is the the proverbial quite before the storm?
or just plain excruciating fatigue?

Not sure where he gets the idea that @spudgun08 (aka Mike Hardy) is not posting.

From today for example tag teaming with that other filthy obscene person Bret.

Yes, well, quite, thank you....

Vox Pop in Portugal don't seem quite, I mean quiet...

Already there are times, elsewhere, denounced this individual behavior that seemed very suspicious. I was censored. I hope the same does not happen to me in Expresso. It is as follows: by chance, PPC was paying rags in a clothes shop at the same time as me. Drew a 500 note as I bag a 5! He sniffed me esturro. Hell, who is walking well with notes of 100 stories in his pocket? The man did not have a credit card? Do not even use the Sporting? Oh, Sporting friends, we left that we take care of our club!

Sporting will have paid a lawyer to get rid of him, the same part of the furniture, even if promoted in the comments on pedophilia in the Casa Pia, the same who was Chairman of the Bar, the same as in the comments TV defending pedophiles. And they are drawing up the laws, passed in Parliament, and those who formulate opinions are paid to defend the powerful, and it is these which, together with pseudo Casino economists advocate the trickery, or reduce wages and raise taxes, rather than produce, produce .... and dignify those who work.

There are more cases like Christopher PP.
The common denominator is that they are all former inspectors, former director of the PJ and the like.
The happy part is being away. People with a strong imagination and unbridled creativity. That means using research a less ethical. are media were invited to mark assiduously presence on TV. They write novels of "intent" and "complaint" (*) as well as soap operas. are called to give an opinion on crime and colored versions and strongly suggestive. Do not compliment them, both the objectivity nor the correction of judgments. Hazardous and harmful when entrusted with responsibilities. are essentially medularmente fiction. should never have gone there ... Note: (*) - Remember "The Star of Joana" "The truth of lies", the "Ballet Rose." Cases in which employed more imagination and sensationalism than scrupulous objectivity.

Dear me! There is more in that vein, but some of them appear to involve Portuguese football insults, and are probably very rude, if you understand them.

Who would have thought we would see Bennett's two favourite authors being insulted in the Portuguese media? Bet Dear Joana doesn't mention any of this.

If she ever comes out of hiding, that is.

Still wishing people dead I see, Greenink. Says it all about them.
