A prosecutor from the Lisbon Public Prosecutor’s Office ordered the PSP to carry out a surveillance operation against two journalists for two months, with a photographic record, in order to understand what sources of information they were related to, TVI revealed on Tuesday night.
In question, the E-toupeira operation, with the surveillance directed at Henrique Machado and Carlos Rodrigues Lima, director of justice for TVI and deputy director of Saturday magazine, respectively. The surveillance was carried out on the public highway – between April and May 2018 – after the order issued by Judge Andrea Marques, within the framework of an investigation for violation of the secrecy of justice.
The prosecutor justifies this action in the process, never seen before in Portugal, “because it is suspected that the journalists involved maintained close and regular contact with police officers or the universe of the courts.”
According to TVI, the prosecutor understood that the leak of information was in the Judicial Police and proceeded to raids the headquarters of the PJ, seizing the email of the national address of the PJ and the National Unit for the Fight against Corruption. As well as the records of telephone calls of high officials of the PJ. In addition, the banking secrecy of journalist Carlos Lima was broken, seeking financial compensation.
