Newspapers, agencies and information sites from around the world are attentive to what happened this Monday in Luz

Benfica’s SAD search operation is having a great media coverage around the world. “Corruption” is the word used, for example, in the title of “L’Équipe”, one of the leading sports newspapers in Europe.

This newspaper writes that “as part of an investigation for ‘sports corruption’, specifically in relation to transfers of players, the Portuguese justice registered the headquarters of two I League clubs, including Benfica.”

“L’Équipe” also mentions TVI to remind that “Luís Filipe Vieira will be the main target of the authorities.”

This information is also highlighted by the “Times of India”, which says: “Benfica is subject to searches following an investigation into corruption in Portuguese football.”

In Belgium, the issue also played a leading role as one of the members, members of the squad and as the origin of Standard de Liége, rival of the eagles in the Europa League. “Jan Vertonghen’s Benfica in the crosshairs of justice”.

In Germany, Kleine Zeitung speaks of “suspicions of corruption”, adding also suspicions about “money laundering” and other “financial crimes”.

Next to it, in Spain, “Diario As” also puts the names of Santa Clara and Sporting in the title, writing that “financial-sports cooperation contracts” are being investigated.

In Italy, the news agency “Agenzia Italia” highlights the phrase: “Vieira under investigation, searches at Benfica headquarters”. The text of the body is then constructed from a statement from the Attorney General’s Office, but also from the information provided by TVI.

In the last paragraph it is written that the club “is involved in a match-fixing investigation.”

And so. The case is far from going through the world media. News about this case is spreading widely in various countries.
