The director of the Judicial Police, Carlos Cabreiro, was reported for allegedly lying in court. The report was sent to the Attorney General and points to crimes of perjury and abuse of power.
The case is related to the "Football Leaks" process and hacker Rui Pinto, a central figure in the disclosure of documents that revealed tax fraud schemes in international football.
The report raises suspicions that the Judicial Police may have recorded a conversation without a judge's authorization, which constitutes a violation of established legal procedures.
This process comes in a context of tensions between Portuguese judicial authorities and raises questions about the integrity of investigations conducted by the JP.
