Posted by PORTUGALPRESS on July 28, 2016
PJ inspector “couldn’t resist” temptation of seven million euros in cash discovered in Cascais basement


Details of the cash allegedly stolen by a PJ inspector attached to Lisbon’s crack anti-corruption squad have emerged today, with national tabloid Correio da Manhã explaining that the sight of seven million euros in two safes in a Cascais basement may have proved too much of a temptation.

The money - all confiscated as part of the Rota do Atlântico investigation into backhanders over oil and construction deals with the Republic of the Congo - was discovered by four PJ inspectors during the search of a house in the upmarket Quinta da Marinha area in February.

On the same day, police arrested former football promoter José Veiga, and businessman Paulo Santana Lopes - the brother of former PSD prime minister Pedro Santana Lopes.

But ownership of the money, even five months on, remains shrouded in confusion.

As CM explains, “neither Veiga, nor his associates, nor the Congolese finance minister Gilbert Ondongo” have claimed it.

With investigators busy trying to fit all the pieces of this massive puzzle together - readers may recall Veiga narrowly missed an opportunity to purchase Novo Banco Cape Verde (click here) - an informant threw yet another issue into the muddle.

CM claims the informant accompanied PJ inspector Emanuel Briosa to the money-filled basement in Quinta da Marinha, and saw him pocket a plastic-covered bundle containing 400 €500 notes with Italian serial numbers.

As the paper explains, siphoning off 200,000 euros among a stash of four million plus another 350 million in dollars could have been the perfect crime.

Indeed, Briosa is understood to have stolen the cash even before it was officially counted - making his alleged theft much more difficult to detect.

“But the colleague realised something was strange,” says CM - not really explaining what this was.

The tip-off to superiors was given, and months of hush-hush investigation ensued.

It did not take long before “outward signs of wealth” came to the surface, however.

Briosa purchased a café on the south of the river Tejo when he already had an apparent ‘lien’ on his earnings, CM explains.

Briosa was arrested on Tuesday and taken before magistrates on Wednesday.

CM says he confessed to having pocketed €40,000, but not to the full €200,000.

He has been remanded in custody to Évora jail, with the magistrate reportedly reminding him about another PJ inspector (Pereira Cristóvão) who “only confessed to his crimes after being sent to jail”.

Posted by portugalpress on March 01, 2017

Corrupt cop to receive €400,000 from PJ

In another extraordinary quirk of Portuguese justice, a former policeman handed a 12-year jail sentence for corruption has seen his bid for back-pay from the PJ upheld by judges at the supreme administrative court, so that the criminal police force now stands duty bound to hand him up to €400,000. The case has been progressing through the court system for two decades, explains Correio da Manhã this morning.

António Caetano was released from jail in 2001. His case rested on the ‘unfairness’ of the disciplinary punishment he received after being ‘ratted on’ by PJ colleagues.

Caetano’s conviction involved nine crimes of falsification of arrest warrants, 16 crimes of abuse of power and 13 of fraud.

But supreme administrative court judges have ruled that not only is Caetano eligible to receive back pay since his expulsion from the police force in 1994, but he should also be allowed to return to active duty.

CM concedes that this would almost automatically see him come up for retirement, for which he should also receive full pay.

The paper adds that the court ruling does not allow for any form of appeal. “The justice ministry will now have to pay the salaries (owing) to the condemned policeman”, it adds.

I'm lost for words, Max, Portugal's 'justice system' appears to be being run by the inhabitants of a lunatic asylum.

Caetano’s conviction involved nine crimes of falsification of arrest warrants, 16 crimes of abuse of power and 13 of fraud.

What about his victims? Oh wait - they probably insulted his 'honour', or something.

PJ and GNR officials accused of drug trafficking and corruption

Per ZAP - April 16, 2017

The Public Prosecutor filed a charge against 29 defendants, two of them from the Judiciary Police and another from the National Republican Guard, under the "Operation Achilles", for crimes of drug trafficking, criminal association and active and passive corruption.

One of the officers of the Judicial Police (PJ) is the Carlos Santos Dias reform coordinator, the other is the chief inspector of the National Unit for Combating Narcotic Drugs (UNCTE), Ricardo Macedo, while the GNR guard is the Detachment of Torres Vedras José Manuel Baltazar Silva.

According to the indictment, some of the defendants of the "Operation Achilles" were part of organized, transnational groups that were dedicated to drug trafficking and would have the support of those two PJ employees.

The two PJ staff illegitimately provided information on the ongoing investigations into drug trafficking offenses, through payment of cash consideration, the indictment indicates.

One of these PJ employees would still be assisted by the GNR cable of the Torres Vedras detachment José Manuel Baltazar Silva.

During the investigations, more than 900 kilograms of cocaine and 30 kilograms of hashish, several vehicles and cash values ​​amounting to several tens of thousands of euros were seized, the indictment said.

Nine of the defendants are subject to coercive measures involving deprivation of liberty. One is in pre-trial detention and the remaining eight, including the two PJ officers and the GNR corporal, are subject to the obligation to stay in the home with electronic surveillance.

Seven of the defendants now charged have not yet been questioned for being on the run, so arrest warrants have been issued so that they can be heard on judicial interrogation to enforce coercion measures.

In this investigation, the Public Ministry was assisted by the National Anti-Corruption Unit (UNCC) of the PJ.

Corruption in Portimao and Portugal - Page 10 Empty Suspected link of PJ inspector to drug trafficking dates back to 2006

Suspected link of PJ inspector to drug trafficking dates back to 2006

Carlos Dias Santos was accused of aggravated drug trafficking, a criminal association with a view to trafficking and passive corruption to commit an illegal act.


LUSA April 17, 2017, 18:01


The accusation of Operation Aquiles reveals that in October 2006, the Judicial Police already had information that showed "strong suspicions" of links from the criminal investigation coordinator of PJ Carlos Dias Santos to drug traffickers.

According to the indictment, which the Lusa agency had access to, between October 2006 and January 2007, elements of the Unit for Prevention and Technological Support (UPAT / PJ) transmitted to its hierarchy information resulting from surveillance and information gathering that "showed strong Suspicions of connections to the world of crime ", by Carlos Dias Santos

Carlos Dias dos Santos and the chief inspector of PJ Ricardo Macedo were accused of aggravated drug trafficking, a criminal association with a view to trafficking and passive corruption to commit an illegal act, under Operation Achilles, in which the Public Ministry accused 29 defendants.

According to the indictment, the 2006 indictment pointed to the connection of Carlos Dias Santos, the National Unit for Combating Trafficking in Narcotic Drugs (UNCTE), Jorge Manero de Lemos and the drug trafficking activity developed by the latter.

At the time, a covert agent of the PJ, during a meeting with a suspect of Paraguayan nationality, learned that the criminal organization that exported cocaine to the company of Torres Vedras "Terra Australis" "had an informant in the Judiciary Police" who Revealed the movements of the police in the fight against drug trafficking.

Also the US authorities told the PJ that one of its elements that collaborated with the criminal organizations of South America had the nickname of "the machine", fact that deepened the suspicions about Dias Santos by the same use many "You are a machine".

"This situation was so serious that the Drug Enforcement Administration [DEA] for lack of confidence was more than a year without collaborating with the PJ," reads the MP's order.

Dias Santos was removed from UNCTE and placed in the National Counter-Terrorism Unit (UNCT) and later retired. However, with the departure of Dias Santos, the information leaks did not stop, so it was suspected that there was someone from UNCTE to pass information to the criminal associations, now the suspicions about the chief inspector Ricardo Macedo are now on the way.

In 2013, the DEA liaison officer in Portugal advised a chief inspector of the PJ to have "attention and care in the transmission of information, because in the PJ, there were two employees who were not trustworthy," pointing out the names of Carlos Dias Santos And Ricardo Macedo.

According to the indictment, the two elements of the PJ, in addition to informing the criminal organizations they protected, through contacts with the alleged informers, sometimes received information from the same organizations regarding the traffic developed by "competing" organizations.

Carlos Dias Santos and Ricardo Macedo "sometimes used such information at UNCTE to do good services with drug seizures and thus credibility of the alleged informers" and to be recognized by their superiors.

In this case, the MP accused 29 defendants of drug trafficking, criminal association and corruption with a view to trafficking and passive corruption to commit illicit acts, including the GNR military officer José Baltazar da Silva and Frankelim Lobo, leader of the drug trafficking organization with residence In Malaga, Spain, but with an unknown whereabouts.

Corruption in Portimao and Portugal - Page 10 Empty Former PJ inspector suspected of frustrating operation with DEA

Former PJ inspector suspected of frustrating operation with DEA

APRIL 18, 2017
1:03 PM

Prosecutor charged 29 people in Operation Achilles for crimes of criminal association, corruption and drug trafficking

"La Maquina". It was at the end of 2007 that the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), sent the nickname known to some criminal organizations in South America as an informant to PJ himself . This after a joint operation between the two police officers was frustrated by a "tip" that reached the traffickers, prompting them to cancel the shipment of the drug to Europe. Ten years later, the Public Prosecution Office considers that there is sufficient evidence to charge the informant "la maquina", Carlos Dias Santos, a former PJ inspector, and another suspect: Ricardo Macedo, chief inspector, who will also have collaborated with drug cartels.

The 2007 episode opens the indictment of prosecutors Vítor Magalhães, João Melo and Lígia Salbany of the Central Department of Investigation and Criminal Action against 29 defendants accused of crimes of criminal association, active and passive corruption, drug trafficking, among others.

In the indictment, the MP considers that the conduct of the defendants Carlos Dias dos Santos, the coordinator of the reformed criminal investigation, and Ricardo Macedo, the chief inspector still in office, "violated the loyalty demanded for their quality of PJ inspectors and infringed The rules and requirements of legality, objectivity, impartiality and independence ". Carlos Dias dos Santos and Ricardo Macedo are accused of aggravated drug trafficking, a criminal association with a view to trafficking and passive corruption to commit illicit acts. Another of the 29 defendants is the GNR military officer José Baltazar da Silva, who is responsible for aggravated drug trafficking and a criminal association aimed at drug trafficking.

Although there have been suspicions of links between the two Judiciary men for several years to the world of drug trafficking, only a few years ago a team from the National Anti-Corruption Unit of the Judicial Police investigated them thoroughly, crossing information from various processes and maintaining The suspects under tight, but discreet, vigilance. The impetus for the investigation will be based on new information given by the North Americans in 2013, clearly identifying Dias Santos and Ricardo Macedo as the "moles" of some drug traffickers, especially a Colombian group whose leader is known as "Papi."

One of the cases attributed to Ricardo Macedo is a trip made by this and another judicial inspector to Morocco in 2012, according to his own version, to contact an informant, a Raul Rosa, who had fled from Portugal, while serving a prison sentence and subject to electronic surveillance. It is that, at the same time of this trip, the PJ of Leiria was preparing a covert action to catch a shipment of drug and at the same time to arrest again Raul Rosa. Something that did not happen because, according to the prosecution, such a trip was only a pretext to inform the trafficker of the ongoing investigation.

As a result of the alleged collaboration with some trafficking networks, Dias Santos and Ricardo Macedo have received hundreds of thousands of euros for years. In fact, Dias Santos, being under house arrest under the Operation Achilles, did not restrain himself from buying a high-powered car. According to the Public Prosecutor's Office, the former inspector of the Judiciary simply had no declared income to do so. In fact, Carlos Dias Santos is still suspected of having resorted to the bank accounts of a godmother to conceal the origin of a few thousand euros that will have been handed to him by the traffickers.

Yesterday, contacted by DN, lawyer Carlos Melo Alves, who represents Dias Santos, told DN that it is most likely to request the opening of the instruction, since "according to my client", he said, "the facts described do not correspond to the truth". DN sought to listen to Rodrigo Santiago, Ricardo Macedo's lawyer, but this was not possible.

The UNCC investigation also detected several money inflows into Ricardo Macedo's bank accounts. At the same time, police found that the former chief inspector only suspected that he was under investigation, and that he began making frequent movements with his bank card, something that had not happened until then, indicating that he would have access to cash. After the DCIAP indictment, the case will be heard at the Central Criminal Investigation Court.

Damn it. PJ chief inspector denounces national director

Chief Inspector of the PJ, accused of drug trafficking last week, denounced that the PJ National Director has requested the legalization of an illegal immigrant at the request of an informant.

This situation and the description of crimes that happen inside the PJ left the prosecutors and the judge Carlos Alexandre stupefied.

About a year ago the former coordinator of the Dias Santos Judicial Police, Inspector Ricardo Macedo and Corporal GNR Baltazar Silva, were arrested, suspected of drug trafficking, criminal association and corruption. It was early April 2016.

Hours later, in the courtroom of the Central Criminal Investigation Court, where, besides Judge Carlos Alexandre, the prosecutors of the Central Department of Investigation and Criminal Action João Melo and Lígia Salbany did not stop arriving serious denunciations, which until today had been closed Inside those four walls.

Parts of this interrogation, which later came to the attention of the Court of Appeal in the appeals filed by the defendants, reveal secrets, alleged irregularities committed by the national leadership, benefits that are given to police detained and the ease with which they enter Of the premises of the PJ and if they rob 33 mobile phones that are the proof of a crime.

PJ chiefs in the hands of drug barons

Chief Inspector Ricardo Macedo and former coordinator Dias Santos accused of receiving thousands of trafficking networks.


By João Tavares | 15.04.17


Their mission was to combat drug trafficking at the highest level in Portugal. But according to the indictment of the Public Ministry, Chief Inspector Ricardo Macedo and former coordinator Dias Santos of the Judiciary received tens of thousands of euros from traffickers.

The bribes served to buy information about future operations of the PJ aimed at the trafficking networks.

The two PJ officials are on the list of 29 defendants now charged by the Public Prosecutor's Office for trafficking, criminal association and active and passive corruption.

In this list there is also José da Silva, chief captain of the GNR of Torres Vedras, accomplice of Ricardo Macedo.

The three policemen are under house arrest. And there are still seven fugitive defendants, all of them traffickers.

In the course of the Achilles operation, Both Dias Santos - already in the reform - like Ricardo Macedo maintained close relations with some barons of the drug, namely Franquelim Lobo and Manuel Manero. The former coordinator Dias Santos would even receive a covenant to provide information to the suspects.

The authorities detected large tens of thousands of euros in bank accounts of the two elements of the PJ, well above the gains made by each one.

The provision of this information would have harmed - and even aborted - a number of operations targeting trafficking networks.

Judge frees ex-coordinator and former chief inspector of PJ, accused of drug trafficking


Tamara Lopes

The former coordinator of the Judicial Police (PJ) and the former chief inspector, who were under house arrest with an electronic bracelet, following the indictment of drug trafficking and corruption, are on the list of the nine defendants who were released today.

The lawyer of the former coordinator of the PJ, Carlos Melo Alves, told Lusa that the decision to release the defendants was from Judge Carlos Alexandre, due to the maximum time of pre-trial detention until the investiture decision, to end on the 13th of this month. And as the preliminary ruling will not be known before the deadline, the judge today determined, once again, the beginning of the investigation debate at the Central Criminal Court for September 1 in Monsanto Court, that the defendants under house arrest And preventive "were immediately" released.

The wars in the Judiciary for the control of the informants

18.11.2017 19:00 by  António José Vilela  151

Several internal documents and inspector's testimonies reveal the bizarre details of failed operations, disciplinary processes, and covert agents reported or on the run. And cases of too much drug gone.

Far from media attention and announcements of major drug seizures, in recent years there has been a real war in the Judiciary Police (PJ) - with internal complaints, disciplinary processes and even the destruction of covert operations - due to the suspicions of corruption and also to the competition between departments and inspectors to see who could achieve the greatest successes with the help of infiltrated traffickers or registered informants.

The episodes that demonstrate this marshy terrain in the police fight against drug trafficking were registered in the dozens of volumes of the process called Operation Aquiles, a judicial case that will be known on 17 July for trial and on what terms. The decision will be up to the Central Court of Criminal Instruction (TCIC).
But it is already known that the internal guerrilla atmosphere in the PJ was never the main object of the process. Rather, it represented a kind of collateral damage from an investigation that only progressed decisively after the denunciation of a repentant drug dealer and many thousands of hours of wiretapping, inquiries of PJ agents, and surveillance of dozens of identified suspects. All this in a tangle of inquiries, some of them more than 10 years old. The combination of all these elements that opened a real box of Pandora, precisely when the Prosecutor's Office (PM) advanced in March 2016 for the attempted arrest of 25 suspects, between traffickers, informers and police.

Almost a year later, and three days before the indictment, on April 10, the PJ completed an extensive 103-page report that was signed by the case's owner, Inspector Jose Santos. The "Information" summarized part of the data that the Judiciary had collected during the investigation that had already put in preventive custody Ricardo Macedo, one of the inspectors that seized larger quantities of drugs, in the last 10 years, in the National Unit to Combat the Traffic of Narcotics (UNCTE). The controversial PJ report was approved by the head of the team, Bruno Miguel, and was immediately sent to MP magistrates Vitor Magalhães, João de Melo and Lígia Salbany.

"It clarifies ... that the work of the UPAT [Unit for Prevention and Technological Support, the surveillance and infiltration sector of the PJ], regarding covert activities, was always carried out against the will of UNCTE. a sensitive area and UNCTE never wanted to relinquish its purse of informers, "said Inspector Gilberto Gaspar of the UPAT, in his inquiry, revealing that for years there have been the most diverse incidents in operations to combat drug trafficking. In one of the cases cited by the inspector - Operation Covered 8/2014 - the work of the PJ had to be stopped in 2016 because it was noticed that one of the traffickers had even a "photograph of the covert agent and a copy of an identification document from him, driving license".

This and other alleged leaks of information (more examples were provided, such as a 2012 operation called Prison and Covered Action 7/2013 which ended with disastrous results and the escape of traffickers) led UPAT to no longer inform UNCTE about the actions it had on the ground.

The aborted trafficking operation
But the internal war in the Judiciary extended to other departments and to more cases. Also heard in the lawsuit, Inspector Mota Gonçalves of the Northern Directorate of PJ, reported the unusual case of an alleged drug-informant named AA [SATURDAY does not disclose the name for security reasons]. During a case of drug trafficking, PJ do Porto put this and other targets under listening and realized that the trafficker was talking on the phone with UNCTE chief inspector José Leal. The talks were not considered compromising, but that was not enough to calm the investigators' spirits. Inspector Mota Gonçalves reported on what happened: "But a few days later, perhaps a week later, he was advised by his colleague, chief inspector Mário Viana, in functions at the Research Department of Braga, that AA

Mota Gonçalves also assured that "the investigation died" at that moment, because even the boat that the alleged traffickers had acquired to make the transport of the drug "never again was busy ". When he was heard, José Leal also spoke of this story. He said that he later learned of the mistrust of his colleagues in Porto and that this happened when a very critical internal document was sent to Lisbon.

"He also knows that the Directorate of UNCTE contacted PJ do Porto directly, also knowing that there was tension, not only because the Porto colleagues did not take part in the investigation to which they are bound by an order issued in that connection, but also by raising suspicions of information leakage, "said José Leal. The case gave rise to a stealthy internal disciplinary process.

The employee who ran away
In the approach to these cases related to the action and identification of traffickers-informers, the intention of the investigators of Operation Achilles was to prove the alleged criminal activity of Ricardo Macedo (and also the former coordinator of PJ Dias Santos). After analyzing dozens of volumes of the case, SATURDAY confirmed that there was at least one line of investigation that guided the work of the National Anti-Corruption Unit (UNCC) in this process: to obtain evidence that Macedo served as contact cover with alleged informers to actually work for drug traffickers, even informing them of police operations.

For this reason, the investigators insisted on collecting dozens of testimonies on police relations with informers and drug trafficking operations. A type of relationship that in the history of the PJ, according to SÁBADO, confided to several former and current investigators who have passed through UNCTE, have always been marked by an enormous degree of informality, despite the rules of conduct that recommend that the police report all these contacts in reports - the so-called "informant folder" - these sources being also registered with a code. In addition, the meetings must be accompanied by more than one inspector.

What happens, perhaps today, it is that many operations have their own informants and arise only records when operations advance actually or have to be made payments because of the information provided, "sighs one of the sources.

The judge, the prosecutor and Dwarf
in the process, the UNCC noted several Ricardo Macedo contact with one of the most important dealers-informers PJ, Jose Pires Coelho, known as Dwarf in the final report, UNCC the researchers have left the idea that the alleged drug dealer -. it was shot during the investigation, was in a wheelchair and is uncertain today - he was one of Macedo's protégés because he would have a friendship with him.

They talked on the phone, by SMS, and had lunch together. "This is what happens to all informants: they are treated well by us," says a source in the Judiciary, who has no connection to this case, noting that the Dwarf has provided for more than 20 years dozens of relevant information to police such as former senior coordinator Maria Alice Fernandes, who allowed many arrests and seizures of drugs. In fact, Dona's collaboration with Justice was so relevant that Judge Carlos Alexandre himself and Attorney Vítor Magalhães went to Spain to testify in favor of the trafficker in a case that targeted him there.

What happened to the Dwarf - over the years, several police officers went to him to arrest to collaborate in processes and this never appeared mentioned in the official documentation of the investigations - also happened with the trafficker RR, another of the alleged informants of Ricardo Macedo. "They are informers and traffickers, sometimes at the same time," another PJ source points out, noting that not infrequently there are police to protect them and others to try to arrest them in operations. As happened with RR After being detained, he began to collaborate with the PJ, who helped him to move to the situation of house arrest. Except that the trafficker took advantage and fled to Morocco. In summer 2012, PJ's Lei de Leiria located it as part of a covert operation aimed at abort the transport of tons of hashish. With higher authorization, Macedo and another inspector went to Tangier to talk to the suspect. The result: no trafficker was detained and the expected drug shipment was never found.
