The Attorney General confirmed the opening of an inquiry into the national director of the Judicial Police. The case arises in the context of the proceedings related to Rui Pinto, the Portuguese hacker known for having revealed secret documents from Portuguese football and who cooperated with judicial authorities.
The suspicions that led to the opening of the inquiry concern alleged false statements made in court by the national director of the PJ. This investigation comes at a particularly sensitive time for the Judicial Police, which has been involved in the proceedings against Rui Pinto.
In addition to the false statements, the inquiry also investigates alleged illegal wiretaps in the Rui Pinto case. This information comes at a time when the hacker's case continues to have strong media and judicial repercussions in Portugal.
