The communication director of FC Porto did not let the publication of the journalistic investigation Luanda Leaks go unnoticed and related it to Football Leaks.
“There are countless analogies that need to be established, because it seems that, suddenly, a part of the country woke up to this issue of these journalistic investigations, of the work that is done in the dissemination of leaks and of confidential matters that expose the practice of crimes in different activities “, began by affirming Francisco J. Marques.
And he went on, with some irony to the mix: “This case of Luanda Leaks is an investigation by an international consortium of journalists. Football Leaks, as is public, was an investigation by an international consortium of journalists. Funny. … it’s the same thing! I’m just noticing it now “.
More seriously, J. Marques noted that society sees these two leaks differently and commented: “It is still a reason for reflection for all of us that, after all, these types of matters must be investigated and reported. In the case of Football Leaks gave rise to the edition of two books, I don’t know German, but I find words there that are familiar to me, starting with B and ending with A. Benfica. The word Benfica was fatal for the way you looked at Football Leaks and for the revelations made in this program. Now, in this case of Luanda Leaks, which has nothing to do with sport, so here we can all dwell on these wrong and illegal behaviors “.
With no restraint, the Porto director continued: “It is curious that, when there were all the revelations that for Portuguese today would even be more spicy, were the disclosures made here or those of Football Leaks, no governmental entity commented. When questioned they said that there is a time for justice. Now, we already see members of the government comment on these things “.
Finally, on this topic, he left a guarantee: “The coming times will serve to understand some more things about these leaks. We entered an era in which information circulates very quickly and, sooner or later, things end up knowing- There are those who are more at ease and those who are less at ease. As for FC Porto, we have nothing to fear “.
Francisco J. Marques did not want to comment on the fact that Eduardo Pires, judge at the Porto Court of Appeal, apologized for the emails process because he was a benfiquista. “As it is public, I was convicted in the first instance on this same matter, which is now on appeal and it is the Court of Appeal that will analyze it. Out of respect for the Justice, I will not say anything at all. I will wait calmly, I will- keep me silent “, explained Francisco J. Marques.
