Test
The infected judge’s family member requires a 14-day break
The trial of the Football Leaks case was suspended today for 14 days, due to the confirmation of a test with a positive result for the new coronavirus, which causes covid-19, of a relative of one of the judges of the group.
About 15 minutes after the start of the 27th session of the trial, at the Central Criminal Court in Lisbon, the panel of judges abruptly interrupted the session, and the chair of the panel, Margarida Alves, returned shortly after to explain that the hearing would have to be suspended due to information received from a positive test for the SARS-CoV-2 virus from the relative of one of the judges.
“We are going to interrupt the trial for the next 14 days. I do not know when we will be able to resume it, they will be notified later,” said the president of the judging panel.
Rui Pinto, 32, is responsible for a total of 90 crimes: 68 for improper access, 14 for violation of correspondence, six for illegitimate access, directed at entities such as Sporting, Doyen, PLMJ law firm, Portuguese Football Federation ( FPF) and the Attorney General’s Office (PGR), and also for computer sabotage of the Sporting SAD and for extortion, in the tempted manner. This last crime concerns Doyen and was also the one that motivated the pronunciation of the lawyer Aníbal Pinto.
The creator of Football Leaks has been free since August 7, “for his collaboration” with the Judicial Police (PJ) and his “critical sense”, but it is, for security reasons, part of the witness protection program in a place undisclosed and under police protection.
