Luís Filipe Vieira will be charged by the Public Ministry in the Lex case, in the coming days, on suspicion of having pressured Judge Rui Rangel to expedite a prosecution process against the president of Benfica who was appearing in the Sintra Court.
Direct pressure is documented in various message exchanges and wiretaps, to which TVI had access, which had an effect: Rangel spoke with a colleague from the Lisbon Relação, a judge, who in turn went to question the president of the Sintra Court about the status of the Benfica president’s case. And this was to ask the judge responsible for the case for explanations, as the magistrate later told the Judicial Police in the investigation of the Lex case.
Meanwhile, lawyer Jorge Barroso, Vieira’s advisor at Benfica, even called the Sintra Court to request meetings with the judge in the case, invoking the name of the Benfica president as interested.
Rangel’s counterpart, for the favors provided, would be the promise of a future paid position at Benfica, and the fact of continuing to enjoy privileged treatment in the club’s matches at home and abroad, that is, abroad. .
