The law, approved during Francisco’s visit to Portugal last August, “has raised a controversial issue in the courts of first instance and there are still no decisions from the higher courts,” explains prosecutor Vera Camacho, who is leaving the decision to discretion. from the hands of the judge who is presiding over the case, but asks to stand trial for computer interference in Benfica, Porto and other football clubs.
The defense team for the Eagles, whose emails were eventually released by rival Invicta, disputes this. “Even if it is applicable, it is just a residual phenomenon. Everything else is serious enough for us to go to trial,” said Rui Patricio this Thursday after leaving the training debate. The hacker’s defense asks that he not be held accountable for 310 crimes. Thus, he will answer for only 67, some of which are related to the facts already considered – Rui Pinto was sentenced to four years probation in the Football Leaks case, for which he had already benefited from the papal amnesty.
