I have been worried about Portuguese Judges for some considerable time, but I have failed to pick up on any specific names, although I assume their names must have been mentioned in specific Cases. Does anyone have any info on this, like who the three Judges were at The Cipriano Trial. Especially the one who went on record as believing she Leonor was innocent? Oh, and the one who tried to get Amaral off the torture of Leandro Silva?

As for Bennett and Cristovao's book. Didn't that contain the lie about The Six Corpses? The High Court will love that.

Sheesh, I am getting annoyed again.

Sabot, there is only one magistrate I know of, that has gone against Gonc. Maria Gabriela Rodrigues who kept the injunction of Gonc's book in place.
The problem was she never got to sit again in his case. I think she had quite a lot of stick from anti's at the time.

I will try and find the judge who went on record as believing Leonor was innocent. I have it somewhere.

Found it Sabot,

There are two judges, from the portuguese supreme court of justice, who voted against the guilty verdict of Leonor. Their names are: Dr. Santos Carvalho, and Dr. Costa Mortágua.

Oh, well done, Maggs. But TWO of them????? Can you find out how many Judges there were? I thought there were only three.

Was there a four-man jury as well?

There was a Jury, Bonny. Can't remember how many. Two Judges ruling for Leonor has left me a bit gob smacked.

More trouble for Bennett's second-favourite 'author':

Audit reveals: Paul Christopher Pereira led life of luxury paid for Sporting. The whole story in CM.



Christopher Pereira was vice president for heritage

Doesn't he look debauched in that photo? He gives me the shudders, he really does - he looks just the type who would enjoy beating women up. And I wonder who 'persuaded' the alleged victim to withdraw the rape complaint against him?

Private security

Christopher watched sins of Rui Patricio

Learn about new developments in the case 'Christopher Pereira, "the vice president that suspended Sporting functions.

Christopher Paul watched the Sporting players. He wore the cheerleading for gathering information and had an 'army' of private security guards. Rui Patricio, goalkeeper the coveted green and white, was a target. Their 'sins' marriage, the relationship with the host Liliana Aguiar when he kept his marriage to Joan Pereira, were known to the ex-'vice' of Sporting. Informants Christopher followed in real time episodes of the emotional life of Patrick, but also the players' hangouts. Some of the known cases have occurred with professionals and Carrillo Rubio, but also one of the soccer players on the eve of an important game. In these situations, the players found to be followed, even one of them entering a Police station in the Expo area, ask for the identification of the persecutors. In all cases, were the players 'reassured' with the fact that these people connected to the club. It was never explained exactly need to know the contours of their private lives.

The safety and information were the action fields of the vice president of Lions, with responsibility for facilities and assets. Were cleared in the investigation of Christopher connections to a group of police officers in active, helping him to gather information. In statements made to the PJ, moreover, made it clear that your business information and was working with many people, including with the company Rui Martins, who made the deposit of two thousand euros to the account of Joseph Cardinal referee.

Christopher denies being involved in the payment of the sum to the man's whistle. Ensures unaware that Rui Martins had gone to Madeira and remember it was he himself who provided the documents to the PJ.

In fact, how the complaint came to the researchers it is still curious. The deposit was made on December 21 in Madeira, about 15:00. Rui Martins returned to the mainland during the night and at 09:00 the next day, Godinho Lopes had the letter supposedly from a woman to terminate Joseph Cardinal. In the envelope were also copies of the deposit made on behalf of the umpire, that these documents Godinho Lopes immediately gave account of Fernando Gomes. All that was left to the leaders of the Portuguese Football Federation a known solution. Cardinal has been removed and new arbitrator was chosen for the meeting.

SECURITY INSPECTOR PJ

Paul Christopher Pereira, 43, entered the PJ to 22 as security. Five years later, he ran to the framework of criminal investigations and joined the Central Directorate for Combating Gangsterism (DCCB).

Collaborated on research such as the fight against 'Mafia East', the 'Gang of ATM, "and called" Joana case "in 2003, following the murder of eight year old girl in Figueira, Portimão. In this process, eventually charged, tried and acquitted by torture of the child's mother, Leonor Cipriano. Was the subject of disciplinary procedures for misuse of 800 euros in the DCCB and attempted rape of a complainant. In the first case, was convicted in 2004, ended the second complaint filed by forfeit. Moved in 2005 to fight economic crime of PJ. After a period of unpaid leave, left the PJ in 2007. He set up the security company Primus-Lex ran for the presidency of Sporting in elections who lost to Jose Eduardo Bettencourt, and in 2011, competed in the lists of Lopes Mendes to vice president of the club.

LOPES GODINHO REQUIRED THAT THE FEDERATION acted

After receiving the letter to report corruption to the referee Joseph Cardinal . Godinho Lopes, president of Sporting, urged the president of the federation to take a position. Fernando Gomes assured he would remove the arbitrator.

Oh, thank you, Pedro, that has answered a couple of questions:

Collaborated on research such as the fight against 'Mafia East', the 'Gang of ATM, "and called" Joana case "in 2003, following the murder of eight year old girl in Figueira, Portimão. In this process, eventually charged, tried and acquitted by torture of the child's mother, Leonor Cipriano. Was the subject of disciplinary procedures for misuse of 800 euros in the DCCB and attempted rape of a complainant. In the first case, was convicted in 2004, ended the second complaint filed by forfeit. Moved in 2005 to fight economic crime of PJ. After a period of unpaid leave, left the PJ in 2007

That explains why I couldn't find a definite date for him 'retiring' from the PJ. Sounds like he was suspended without pay in 2006, until he 'retired' in 2007?

And why is the 'Mafia East' gang only now appearing in court?

And PS -

If he was found guilty of misappropriating €800 euros of PJ money in 2004, why did it take so long to kick him out, sorry, I mean, for him to 'retire'?

The Mafia East gang:

http://www.cmjornal.xl.pt/detalhe/noticias/nacional/portugal/julgamento-da-mafia-do-oeste-adiado-para-setembro

quote:

On trial are four Italians and three arrested in an operation of the Portuguese Judicial Police on 21 October 2010 in the area Bombarral and Torres Vedras, accused of criminal association and scams qualified 20 companies that have damaged 1.5 million euros.
According to the Public Ministry (MP) of Leiria, the group leader is an Italian who has a European arrest warrant for alleged ties to the Sicilian Mafia and on which falls the same charges against the remaining defendants: aggravated fraud, falsifying documents, conspiracy, and breach of trust recetação.

He was Convicted of stealing 800 Euros in 2004 but continued to serve in The PJ? What the hell did these people think they were doing? I mean, what can you say? Third World Sardine Munchers just doesn't cover it.

Convicted of helping himself to €800 belonging to the PJ, no less, and somehow wriggling out of a rape charge. Incredible! No wonder he thought he would get away with the business of the referree.

Uneffingbelievable, Bonny. Steal from your Employer, The PJ, and then get moved to a Division fighting Economic Crime of The PJ.
But you have to admit that he did have some experience in this field. I am trying not to laugh because it really isn't funny.

Failed.

You welcome bb1.

bb1, Sabot, your words are mine.

Christopher Pereira: "Clear my name and we will see in the end '

former vice president assures innocence

Former Vice President Paul Christopher Pereira has denied ordering the deposit of any amount in the account of Joseph Cardinal assistant referee, assuming that the process will prove that in this case he is innocent.

"It's a novelty that tells me, but tomorrow will be another ... I can not feed it.I can not feed envy, hypocrisy, I can not feed it. The process will prove it in his time," he admitted, told TVI.

"In no time I sent anybody put money into an account. That has not happened, or know anyone who at Sporting does it," he said.

In relation to the payment of fees to the lawyer Rogerio Alves, the former leader was clear: "I ​​always said I wanted it to be Rogerio Alves to defend myself. Sporting agreed. At the first stage, when there was only the case Cardinal, Sporting was accepted that to pay, but from the moment we opened it, changed, when appeared more crimes, I do not know how many more will come. at that time it was obvious that I would pay his fees. Rogério not need publicity. He is my lawyer and I did not want the club to pay. "

when appeared more crimes, I do not know how many more will come. at that time it was obvious that I would pay his fees.

How many more charges does he expect there to be?

Thank you, Pedro.

bb1, your words are mine, you welcome.

I am trying to work out what he is actually saying.....did he try to tell Sporting that there was 'just' the charge involving allegedly trying to frame the referee, and forgot to mention everything else?

I think he thought they didn't know about what else he had been up to. And he thought he could block them from getting into his computer.

The Referee thing is debatable, and will only be proved against Cristovao if the person who deposited the money says that Cristovao told him to do it.

What was found on his computer is another story altogether.

Have we been here before?
Seems he was hell bent on getting rid of Leo in 2010. SO WHY IS THIS LEO STANDING BY HIM NOW?

Financial Crisis
Christopher Paul defends resignation from the direction of Sporting
by Lusa25 September 2010



The member and former presidential candidate Paul Christopher Sporting defended today that the current direction "Leo" should leave "if you love the club," since it is responsible for the current financial situation.

"The current management should, in conscience, to assume that no mobilization capacity that requires a direction. That would be the greatest act of love for the club: resign and call early elections," Lusa defended the defeated candidate in elections of June 6, 2009.

The Sporting SAD presented at the end of June, according to the report and accounts, a liability amounting to EUR 173 million and, according to the edition of the Morning Post today, the club gave as security for loans to banks to passes of the players who does not already own.

"It made a blind bet on people who are brilliant managers in their personal careers and coming to the club and unlearn everything and grocers are authentic with pencil behind his ear and pad in hand, to do their business with the bank. To have interest seven per cent, any individual can better than that. And mortgage passes from players who are not yet of Sporting and are already mortgaged does not seem the best way, "he declared.

For all this, Christopher Paul believes that the club has three ways to change direction, including the convocation of a General Assembly that "openly discuss" the problems of the club between management and shareholders, wait for the "almost three years" by the end of the mandate or the direction to resign, in their view the most viable solution.

Christopher Paul goes to the shareholders "Leo" that in case of fall of direction, need not be concerned because the "power of the club will not fall in the street", ensuring that knows Sporting "of grateful love to the club" that are available to head "other type of project, with other characteristics."

"It's a shame the club to be technically bankrupt, completely in the hands of banks, such as never was. And this dependence increased with the current presidency. Worst of all is the lack of leverage in the future, whether it be to mobilize people, mobilization sales, enabling sustainability in the future dream of other things, "Christopher Paul considered.

The candidate who met 10 percent of the vote in recent elections Sporting further argued that the club has returned to its greatest asset: the partners.

"These are members who support the club throughout the world. For over a decade here said that this wealth was left behind. Culminated in another type of management that led to what is happening, or a club technically bankrupt," said.

Christopher Paul also noted that "even in the 18 years that the club did not win titles," the partners were "so demobilized and removed," because they believed that "those who ran the club was able to do so."

I think something has gone wrong in translation, Maggs - Sporting is known as the Lions/Leo, hence the confusion. There was a terrible tangle over Leonine cheerleaders for a while, but it actually meant Lions fans...

However - that looks rather as if Cristovao was making some kind of bid for power nearly two years ago. Which raises all sorts of questions.

Th Criminal Court of Lisbon, which are to be judged also John Pinto, Luis Duque and Rui Meireles, Jose Veiga told the defendant that the premium subscription of four million, attributed to Then footballer Goodstone by British company, was "a form of Sporting not pay taxes."

"All the players negotiate contracts net and then the clubs are a way to pay the player a net and pay less tax in the premium subscription. That's why it increased 190,000 to four million euros," said Veiga.

I won't pretend to understand it, or the rest of the story, but there seems to have been more going on than allegedly trying to entrap referees.....

It sounds as though The Club said that they paid more for players than they actually did.
Not sure how they thought they could get away with this.
