Lawyer Rui Costa Pereira, assistant in the case in which Rui Pinto is charged with 90 crimes, denounced in court on Thursday a message shared by Rui Pinto on Twitter that caused “a groan of threats and insults” against him. But Judge Margarida Alves responded that this is irrelevant to the case.
“A few hours before coming here, Rui Pinto himself decided to post a tweet from his supporter about me,” Rui Costa Pinto reported. But the judge in the case devalued, saying that the defendant and the assistants are free to publish in their defense.
“The accused has thousands of followers,” complained the former PLMJ lawyer. “I don’t see any relevance in that, the evidence is in court. And the court stays out of these issues, “replied the judge, who also said she had no social networks.
The topic was an exchange that Rui Pinto made this week on Twitter of a message criticizing another tweet in which Rui Costa Pereira despised the author of Football Leaks.
In his testimony, the lawyer regretted the impact that the posts on the blog Mercado de Benfica had on his life, which the prosecution attributes to Rui Pinto. “Anyone who has not been through this has no idea what a sense of privacy breach,” said the attorney who worked at PLMJ until early last year.
