The Attorney General's Office confirmed the opening of an inquiry to investigate Carlos Cabreiro, director of the Judicial Police. This investigation comes after a complaint filed by a PJ coordinator against Cabreiro.
The coordinator who filed the complaint accuses Carlos Cabreiro of having lied during Rui Pinto's trial. According to the accusation, Cabreiro denied the existence of a phone tap when, in reality, that tap was actually carried out.
Rui Pinto, known for having been responsible for revealing confidential documents from football organizations and other institutions, was being tried in the context of his illegal activities of unauthorized access to computer systems. The case now involves a question of veracity in the statements made during that trial.
The opening of the inquiry by the PGR now marks a formal phase of investigation into the conduct of the director of the Judicial Police, in a process that may have implications for the credibility of Rui Pinto's trial and for the PJ institution itself.
