Former Sporting director had special treatment at the 'White Elephant'

Notícias de Coimbra7 September 2026 at 08:02

A former Sporting director is among the clients who, according to the Public Prosecutor's indictment, had access to special treatment at the Caxias Prison Facility, known as the 'White Elephant'. The Public Prosecutor suspects that this differentiated treatment was provided through a scheme involving prison employees.

The former Lisbon football club official is mentioned as a beneficiary of perks that would not be available to other inmates. The indictment points to the existence of a system that allowed these special clients privileged access to conditions within the prison facility.

The case arises in the context of a broader investigation into alleged irregularities in the benefits granted to prisoners at the Caxias Prison Facility. Authorities are investigating the circumstances under which these special treatments were granted and who was responsible for providing them.
