Speaking to journalists outside the court, Francisco Teixeira da Mota stressed that it was not possible to “deduce anything” at this time from the changes communicated by the presiding judge Margarida Alves, stressing that the court document on the facts that changed in relation to the Ministry’s accusation Public (MP) in the Football Leaks lawsuit represents “a complex technical issue”.
“At the time, it was clear, we are not here to play. We are people with responsibility, the defense of a defendant is done according to rules of intelligence, seriousness and loyalty. It is predictable that there may be some condemnation”, said the lawyer, who refused to comment on the possible application of a suspended sentence: “I will not comment on that, I only read it in passing and, from what I read, I cannot draw any conclusions. The only conclusion I drew was that I have to read carefully, study and see if we are going to apply for something or not”.
Francisco Teixeira da Mota also stressed that the defenses of the defendants now have 10 days to comment on the changes, noting that these occur “at various levels” of the process and refusing to dwell on comments on the state of your client’s spirit in this final stretch of the trial.
In the session at the Lisbon Central Criminal Court defined for the reading of the judgment of the judgment, which began about two and a half years ago, the presiding judge Margarida Alves confirmed what she had already left implicit in the closing of the final arguments and reported the change not substance of the facts. The collective of judges designated May 26 for the eventual production of evidence and the reading of the judgment for July 13, at 2:00 pm.
Rui Pinto, 34 years old, is responsible for a total of 90 crimes: 68 of improper access, 14 of violation of correspondence, six of illegitimate access, targeting entities such as Sporting, Doyen, the law firm PLMJ, the Portuguese Federation of Football (FPF) and the Attorney General’s Office (PGR), and also for computer sabotage to Sporting’s SAD and for extortion, in the attempted form. This last crime concerns Doyen and was what also led to the pronunciation of lawyer Aníbal Pinto.
The creator of Football Leaks has been free since August 7, 2020, “due to his collaboration” with the Judiciary Police (PJ) and his “critical sense”, but is, for security reasons, included in the program of witness protection at an undisclosed location and under police protection.
