CRISTOVAO RESIGNS, CRIMINAL CHARGES LAID

By paying his legal fees, it reads as though they are condoning his actions.
I cannot see that going down well with the club's investors.

It makes them look both scared and guilty, IMO, Tony. Not a good move.

It's going to be pretty bad for Bennett if Cristovao is in the slammer, isn't it? Especially with Gonc expected to join him after the trial for the torture of Leandro Silva.

And Heaven knows what the PJ found on Cristovao's computers. You know, the ones he didn't want them getting access to.

This is how they deal with bad news and anything that doesn't involve slagging off The McCanns. They just ignore it. They are just a bunch of slaggs, really.
But I expect that one of them will find a way to blame The McCanns for Cristovao's downfall and for why Gonc beat up Leandro Silva.

IMO, Leandro Silva is the one who is going to get Gonc jailed. I am sure Senhor Silva is fully aware that, if he hadn't managed to stand up to the beating, he too would be in jail because Gonc and Cristovao invented a load of filth and lies about him, too.

Tick tock!

At least The Judge won't be able to say that it is a First Offence, and suspend his sentence for that reason.

Oh, I forgot. Gonc was convicted of Perjury on the last occasion. This will be a First Offence for actual Torture. Any bets, anyone?

Something tells me that the downfall of Cristovao may well end rather a lot of corruption in Portugal, Sabot. And if Gonc is in hot water, he may well 'remember' the names of the PJ officers he brought down from Lisbon.

As FSoares revealed to Bennett:

commited by the officers who were brought from Lisbon, under Amaral's orders

I could see Gonc deciding it is in his interests to co-operate.

We have a from CdM. I don't actually really understand it, but never mind, here it is;

Attorney Christopher warrant ignoring accusations

Pereira's lawyer Paul Christopher, this Thursday to present Judge of the Court of Criminal (ICT) in Lisbon, said it was necessary "to distinguish between reality and fiction", guaranteed to be unaware of the charges the former vice president Sporting.

At the entrance of ICT, which arrived in the company of Paul Christopher Pereira, the barrister Rogerio Alves said he had "no expectations" by ignoring the process, in which the former leader, who made no comment, is accused of slander complaint qualified to referee Joseph Cardinali.
The lawyer said he was unaware the evidence of corruption, embezzlement and economic subterfuge in business crimes listed in the press, and a position reserved for after the interrogation of Christopher Paul Pereira, scheduled for the afternoon.
"I now know what is in the process. What we have to distinguish fact from fiction is not to get carried away by what the newspapers say. Conflict of interest is in the materiality of things and not what comes in the newspapers," said Roger Alves.
After questioning, the judge shall order a coercive measure to apply to Paul Christopher Pereira, who can go from the end of identity and residence to arrest.



Think I will just enjoy the delicious irony of Cristovao being hung out to dry by Sources in the Portuguese tabloids. It's Karma or something.

The PJ do seem to be trying to sort them out, Bonny. Unless it got so blatant that they weren't able to ignore it anymore.
And Gonc could always plead Pressure from Cristovao and reveal the names for a lighter sentence. Although personally I think he's too thick to realise that he is f**ked. He has arrogance problems as well.

Hahahahahahahahah. Sources in The Press. You couldn't make it up. I don't know how they have got the nerve.
Does that article mean he is under house arrest?

It does look as if he may be about to be placed under house arrest, Sabot, but I am not sure - google didn't do a very good job on it.

Hopefully Pedro will be able to make some sense of it.

After questioning, the judge shall order a coercive measure to apply to Paul Christopher Pereira, who can go from the end of identity and residence to arrest.

Oh, how I hope they arrest him!

How can Alves be unaware of the charges? He's been his lawyer long enough
What bulls**t

In other words, Paulo and his lawyer will be informed of the charges against Paulo, today.

Ah, thanks, Tony, that makes a bit more sense.....

Also the last paragraph of the story means that the judge will consider what restrictions to place on him pre-trial. The options listed range from a specified address, not being able to leave the country etc, through to being held on remand.

Google is my friend in more ways than one.

Termo de identidade e residência

É uma medida obrigatória para todos os processos que devam continuar após o interrogatório do arguido:

- É aplicável a todos aqueles que forem constituídos arguidos;

- Sempre cumulável com outra medida de coacção;

- Implica a obrigação de o arguido indicar pessoa que receba as notificações no caso de vir a residir fora da comarca; de comparecer perante autoridade competente sempre que para tal seja notificado; de não mudar de residência sem comunicar a nova residência.

- O arguido é informado de que em caso de incumprimento será representado pelo seu defensor incluindo a audiência de julgamento (art. 333º CPP).

A não sujeição do arguido a termo de identidade e residência, quando o processo contínua após o primeiro interrogatório, constitui irregularidade processual, sujeita ao regime do art. 123º CPP. Nos termos do art. 123º/2 CPP, a reparação da irregularidade deve ser ordenada mesmo oficiosamente, logo que dela se tome conhecimento, determinando-se que o arguido preste termo.

Google translation.

Term of identity and residence

It is a compulsory measure for all processes that must continue after the interrogation of the accused:

- It applies to all those who are made ​​defendants;

- Always be combined with other measures of coercion;

- Implies the obligation to indicate the accused person receiving notifications in case you live outside the county, to appear before the competent authority whenever it is notified to do so; not change residence without notifying the new residence.

- The defendant is informed that in case of default will be represented by his counsel including the trial (art. 333 CPP).

The subjection of the defendant is not a term of identity and residence when the process continues after the first interrogation, constitutes a procedural irregularity, subject to the rules of art. 123 CPP. Pursuant to art. 123/2 CPP, the repair of the irregularity should be its own motion ordered as soon as it is aware, determining that the defendant pay term.

I appreciate that the legal jurisdiction is different but I think it highly unlikely that there is a significant difference in the meaning of this term.

Also from the same document the word detencao clearly means detention (which in this case would be pre-trial and therefore the equivalent of remand).

Thanks, Greenink and Tony, that does make a bit more sense of proceedings.

It does sound as if he is in very serious trouble, Tony?

I think they should lock him up. He could interfere with witnesses.

Cristóvão Pereira is already in court
Paul Pereira Cristóvão and Rogerio Alves are already in the Criminal Court, where former vice Sporting will be heard within the familiar cardinal process. While Paul Pereira Christopher refused to talk to journalists, the lawyer made some statements of condition. "This is not a matter of expectation, is a matter of getting to know what part of the process and what, for me, this is the issue of slander complaint. From now on I will examine, in a process that is secrecy, which truly are signs for us to begin to deal with information and not fiction. " Regarding the news that spoke of the possibility of abandoning the process due to conflict of interests, Rogério Alves shot: "I'm a lawyer and any lawyer in a conflict of interests, you must have the attitude that is relevant. But it is in such a situation, not when newspapers say there may be conflict of interest. It's such a difference between reality and fiction. "

"I'm a lawyer who was hired to a crime of slander, but if faced with new facts, I will act as it sees fit. I will do it when so and not when the papers say," the lawyer spoke about the possibility of a conflict of interest.

What on earth? Something tells me he doesn't know much more about what Cristovao has been up to than we do.

Thank you, Pedro. This gets stranger and stranger....

You welcome bb1, I agree with you.

I can't even start to work this out, Pedro. It's as if Alves thought he was only acting for Cristovao on one charge, but has now found out there are others, involving Cristovao allegedly defrauding Sporting Lisbon? Who are supposedly paying for Alves?

It's all very muddled at present, and I hope it gets clearer, BUT - if Cristovao has also been messing his lawyer around, he is in big, big trouble, I should think?

It sounds as though Alves is Sporting's Lawyer and acts for staff and players and club, but he can hardly act for a member of staff who has been ripping off the club, because he should be acting for the club in such a situation.

bb1, so it seems.
