Acasio Carvalho is a former land owner in Cuba, he worked in the police for more than 20 years and has no doubt that Fernando Valente’s father, Manuel, was involved in the death of 33-year-old Monica Silva from Murtosa. “They were capable of this and much more,” says the 70-year-old. “During the transaction, father [Manuel] He tried to deceive me, didn’t want to pay me and even threatened me,” he adds. TO CM He says he met two Valente employees during a trip to Murtosa and they told him “they would starve and be beaten” if they did not do as they were told. The former policeman points his finger at the suspect’s father, saying that the son is “a follower of his father.” It is Manuel Valente who will financially support the business of his son Fernando Valente, who is in prison. Knowing the land that now belongs to Fernando, Acasio showed CM almost 10 wells where the suspect could have left Monica, in the territory of the village of Alentejo. The land was sold to the Valente family 7 years ago for 150 thousand euros. “He paid the bail in cash, which immediately struck me as odd,” he says. During interrogation, Fernando could not explain the traces of Monica’s mobile phone, which disappeared on October 3. He did not say why his own phone was turned off at the same time as the pregnant woman’s.
