Following the news of Benfica’s alleged poaching of Edgar Costa, Rui Pinto, the creator of Football Leaks, assured on social media that Luis Filipe Vieira, the former president of the Luz club, “devised a scheme” that ended up turning into “millions in pockets.” a very limited group of confidants,” including Miguel Piño, who was denounced by the Maritimo player.
“For many years, Luis Filipe Vieira has devised a scheme whereby more than 15 million euros from the formation of Benfica were transferred to the pockets of a very limited group of agents of his trust, with a focus on Miguel Piño,” Rui Pinto tweeted.
Recall that yesterday the Expresso newspaper reported that Edgar Costa admitted to prosecutor Andrea Marquez in 2019 that the businessman made him an “offer of 30 thousand euros” if he was ready to “play badly and not shoot on goal” in the game against ” Benfica” in the 2015/16 season. He would also be offered a better contract if he arranged this meeting before the incarnations.
