Gonzo's chum Paulo Pereira Cristovao arrested for armed robbery

The McCanns sued him, as recalls the Observer

They've got that bit wrong, they've confused him with Gonzo. This is interesting, though:


The investigation and the trial ended in 2009 with the acquittal of the inspectors, although it had been proved in court that someone assaulted Leonor within the PJ in Faro. However, its relations with the lawyer who defended him, António Pragal Colaco, were not good. Contacted by Saturday, following his arrest on 3 March 2015, the lawyer would not talk about the old client and said only that "the detention already predicted long.

His old lawyer doesn't sound too surprised by this; I wouldn't be surprised if the torture charges were looked at again?

Leonor Cipriano deserves some resolution to the whole sorry affair where he is concerned.

Let's see, we have Socrates in jail, and Gonzo's good friends the mayor of Portimao and Thug Cristovao heading for the same destination.

Any sign of the haters working out where the cover-up was all along, yet?

Not looking quite so suave now, is he?

My friends, this was taken from Correio da Manhã newspaper:

private life of athletes watched

Path Through the Sporting marked by invasion of private intimacy.

Club players and referees were the main targets of espionage scheme carried out by Paulo Pereira Cristóvão while he was vice president of Sporting. In searches made in Alvalade Stadium in 2012 by the Unit for Combating Corruption of PJ, a list of arbitrators of the Football League was found. The personal and family lives of several referees came to be published on the Internet.

Among the players targeted by the PJ's former investigator scheme was Rui Patricio. At the time, extramarital relationship with Liliana Aguiar was passed combed by Paulo Pereira Cristovao. Other players like Carrilho and Rojo, were also monitored in their homes and in places frequented. Paulo Pereira Cristovao defended himself with "the protection of assets of the club."

It is already next month Paulo Pereira Cristovao trial opens the seven crimes he was accused by DIAP Lisbon. The espionage scheme is provided for in qualified unlawful access of murder and wanton by computer.

But there are more crimes: a crime of aggravated fraud, another of money laundering, two embezzlement and finally slanderous denunciation aggravated.


The crimes of fraud, embezzlement and money laundering correspond to the fact that the money paid by the Leo club to companies that were monitoring the players and referees get into the Paulo Pereira Cristovao accounts. There were two contracts: an eight thousand euros and another six thousand euros.


Benfica have also been the target of an attempted espionage by cristóvão. investigation has shown that he made a prospect to get a company to provide video surveillance cameras to Benfica. The aim was mainly control the Seixal training center. Cristóvão knew the Benfica had organized a contest to award the installation of surveillance cameras and their idea was to get the contest was won by a company you trust in order to be able to control the rival club. In April, Paulo Pereira Cristovao sits in the trial to be judged for these crimes.

Thank you, Pedro. We've been following Cristovao's 'career' for some years, but the extent of his criminal behaviour is absolutely mind-boggling.

I would not be in the least surprised if, 7+ years ago, his associates were given their orders to flood English-speaking internet boards with anti-McCann lies and propaganda disguised as 'wonderful translators', people that just happened to live in the PDL area, 'sources', etc.

There seems to be no kind of crime he ISN'T involved in....

Just a reminder that yesterday, citizen churnalist Natasha Donn aka Harry_Lime of the hounders tried to mislead readers by pretending that these crimes had already been dealt with, and that Cristovao got off with a slap on the wrist.

When it was actually the Portuguese football authorities that had acted.

Now, why did she do that? Why did she put out a false story?

you welcome bb1, I agree with you.

what more rotten secrets will be discovered about him.

I believe this is something that we have questioned many times over the past years.  The characters involved, the explanation of crimes that sounded too ridiculous to be true.  

Cristovao is no different to a Mafia boss with the mob. It must have been their 'golden days' before the McCann case turned sour on them.  

One of the tapas group had a contact in the media.  However, the news would have reached the UK in no time at all even without that help, as Missions typically have the ability to have all contacts covered.  Some people on the anti forums seem to have no idea at all of what happens in Missions.

Two young girls who vanished into thin air in the jurisdiction of the same lead cop.  The inability to solve both crimes properly but ascribed similar reasons involving fridges and bones eaten by pigs.  Then later there was Jacinta Rees who managed to commit suicide by axing her head a few times.   She unfortunately lived in the path of drug runners and alleged child traffickers.  Those are just 3 cases!  That does not include all the other crimes in the area.    

Amaral et al knew they had to invoke judicial secrecy in this matter.  Their secrets had to remain just that.

How convenient then for the translators and Amoral that they could spin their tales as needed.  When they saw that they were believed they must have thought they could do no wrong. 

Let us not forget among those wonderful translators was Duarte Levy who saw this as a way to make a lot of money.  He is close to Amoral, Morais who was close to both and on and on.  Levy blatantly lied at every turn and he was just one of them.  Add it all together and you have quite a propaganda machine.

Of course, if everything had happened as Amoral insisted, then they would not have needed to do any of that.

Paulo Pereira Cristovao arrested for armed robbery

of the thug arriving at court today.



Hilarious to see Gonzo mouthpieces like Montclair/Carolina trying to pretend that Cristovao has nothing to do with Gonzo, and even less to do with the McCann case.

Newsflash, flying monkeys - the internet says otherwise, so stop trying to rewrite history. It isn't working any more. You can't cover this up.

Oh, and I would say the Portuguese authorities are going to go all the way with this one, I should think the PJ in particular have had more than enough of their good name being dirtied by Cristovao, Amaral and their ilk.

The Algarve Mafia has fallen.

Cristóvão had no connection with the Maddie case, the only thing he did was write a fictionalised account of the investigation. He wasnassociated with a lot of people who are now gobsmacked at his arrest. BTW, the head of the investigation into his criminal activities is Luís Neves, the same person who testified on Gonçalo Amaral's behalf in the libel/damages trial.

That's hilarious, how can anyone that knew him be 'gobsmacked' at his arrest? He's been at it for years and got away with it - more likely, his former associates are terrified he will take them down with him.

We knew about the rape allegations against him when he was in the PJ years ago. We knew he was convicted of stealing €800 from the PJ.

His alleged involvement (along with Gonzo) in the PROVEN torture of Leonor Cipriano is a matter of record.

Yet his 'associates' are 'gobsmacked' that he's been revealed as a thug and gangster?

Pull the other one, it's got bells on.

I think she has to know that only certain people believe what she has to say. 

That would be those who are pro Amoral.  They have bought the Kool Aid many times over.......

Is this is yet another desperate attempt to try and link people to Madeleine's disappearance.

How pathetic.

Desperate times indeed for the mccanns and their supporters.

The hypocrisy is staggering.

We all know what they would be like if someone like, say, Clarence Mitchell got a parking ticket. Yet no-one is supposed to say a word when Gonzo's bessie PJ mate is facing a raft of charges worthy of Al Capone.

Haters are soooooo funny.

Aren't they just?

I do hope they don't get paid for their spin.

I wonder where he was on May 3rd 2007......

Very good question.

I wonder if he's been asked that?

If he hasn't been, he should be.

I agree with you, Bonny. Time will tell on that.

Businessman Cascais met former PJ inspector as dealer soccer players. Tried to sell him two footballers passes. Realized that the business was false and was assaulted in millions.


It was 22 hours. The doorbell rang and on the other side there were two uniformed police men and a third civil. "We came execute a search warrant on suspicion of trafficking in diamonds," justified the manager of real estate. Weapons at the ready, he, his daughter and his girlfriend searched from top to bottom and a single target: the vaults that held millions of euros in cash, checks and statements of debts.

"I wondered who knew where he was safe and that they should put the money in his pocket. When they left, I proposed to accompany them to the prosecutor, denied me. And I realized I had been robbed, "says the businessman Cascais to the Observer.

Prefers to remain anonymous, but that day February 27, 2014 has left its mark. The daughter, 16, walks since then safely. Is "traumatized". They also had to move house and only now, with the arrest of Paulo Pereira Cristovao, can breathe a sigh of relief.

According to the complainant, who initially complained to PSP Cascais, it all started when you had your PC as draws Paulo Pereira Cristovao. A man "sweet hand", describes, to justify how easily made ​​friends. Pereira Cristovao was presented at the time as dealer soccer players . Even left him a business card, but "without the business address." "I wanted to sell me two passes of players, but I told him that my branch was the real estate," he recalls.

After some prodding, the businessman began to ask him questions. And when he realized that Pereira Cristovao "did not even have the pass of the players, then could not sell them." Confronted him with this and put an end "friendship". He did the same with the man who introduced them. "I found it was a drug dealer after we were friends. He knew where my coffers were, "he says.

The day of the robbery, the suspects stole checks and statements of debts totaling in excess two million euros . They took also three car keys, including a Lamborghini and Aston Martin . A gold wire of 16 thousand euros, a mobile phone "with 400 contacts of Brazilian companies" and money, the entrepreneur prefers not to quantify. "It was more than ten families who have suffered all together," he says. They could not take the car because the garage condo was locked. But they left marks on the intercom: was beaten.

The authorities, the business secured have shown all the evidence of origin of the stolen money. More. He said as soon as the origin of the crime would Pereira Cristovao. "He had already sent another group of robbers, but then gave up. And this group came to tell me everything, "he explains. Months later, when the PJ arrested two members of a police force who participated in burglaries in the areas of Lisbon and Setúbal, the robbers also ended up admitting that those who gave them orders was Pereira Cristovao.

It took a few months to gather evidence to arrest the former PJ inspector and former vice president of Sporting. It happened on Tuesday.

Good God Almighty, Max! I don't see Cristovao wriggling out of a conviction this time, with any luck, he's finally heading where he should have been years ago.

I am sure he can look forward to a warm welcome from his fellow-criminals.

Paulo Pereira Cristovao arrested for armed robbery

So, two people were responsible for inventing the stupid 'Six corpses' story, that the haters still insist is a Troo Fact.

One was convicted torturer Tavares de Almedia.

The other was Cristovao.

Let's hope we've heard the last of that.
