SAD and Benfica administrators became defendants

This Saturday, Benfica issued an official note confirming that SAD and “members of the board of directors for the period 2016 to 2020 who are currently in office” were named defendants on 3 January. However, the embodiments do not specify what the process is.

CNN reported that a mega sporting corruption trial was at stake, a record confirmed by Record. The fact that they became defendants may interfere with the prescription of some crimes that have been investigated for several years.

Also according to CNN, Rui Costa was called to the judicial police in recent days and became a defendant. As for Luis Filipe Vieira, he has not yet received the status of arguido, because he is not in Portugal. You will need to inform the SP when you return from abroad.

Read the statement in full:

“In view of the news released today, Sport Lisboa e Benfica – Futebol SAD confirms that the defendant was appointed on January 3rd, and also, among other things, the members of the Board of Directors in 2016 received a mandate for 2020 and who is currently in office.

Benfica SAD will not comment further on this matter as the process is under judicial secrecy.

Benfica SAD declares its full readiness and openness to cooperate with the competent authorities, as it has always happened so far.”
