Christopher Paul Pereira, a former vice president of Sporting, is suspected of having diverted funds from the club through various companies controlled by them big bucks to keep the lions Monthly retainers, without providing any service in return.

THE PUBLIC newspaper knows they are concerned at least 100 000 euros, but the final value of the deviation is not yet accounted for, since at this point is an ongoing financial expertise that will determine this calculation.

The fact that Christopher Pereira yesterday he resigned the position he occupied in the direction of the club - after having already been notified to the judicial interrogation - will determine the measures of coercion, since it became useless to any request for suspension of duties and to prevent the claim of continued danger dangerous activity, a requirement of probation.Companies used to divert the money would be managed by railways foreheads, so they try to conceal the connection to the ex-director "Leo."

The contracts were awarded by Christopher Pereira, acting as vice-president of the Sporting, and would, among other things, the purpose of "protecting assets" of the club, or the players. The money would pay for an alleged scheme monitoring of footballers, were met in very few acts.Research Unit of the National Anti-Corruption PJ is entering the final stage, having been found evidence of several crimes, including embezzlement, economic participation in business, aggravated fraud and tax evasion. Some assume that the illicit Christopher Pereira was employed for criminal purposes, which is justified by the fact that Sporting have the status of a sports association of public utility.

Investigators believe the former vice president acted without the knowledge of the remaining elements of the direction of Sporting, being held this belief in the various evidence collected so far. At this point, the investigation continues with two defendants, Christopher Pereira and an official of the security company that owns it.The research began by having the referee Joseph Cardinal in the spotlight began in December 2011.

The termination of the case - which is under the purview of 9. Th Section of the Department of Investigation and Prosecution of Lisbon - came at the hands of the authorities responsible for the Portuguese Football Federation, who anonymously sent a letter and a copy of a book of deposit made on behalf of Cardinal, which came through the Sporting. In mid-April, the PJ held a dozen searches and was accused Christopher Pereira and his staff.It was this employee who purposely went to Madeira to make a bank deposit of two thousand euros in the account of Cardinal.

The CCTV footage of the bank's video surveillance captured the moment of the operation and contributed to the identification of the accused. Christopher Pereira has since been indicted for the crime of qualified slanderous denunciation.Conflicting interests?It was the president of the Sporting, Godinho Lopes, who asked Rogério Alves, former President of the General Assembly of SAD, to defend the former vice president Christopher Paul Pereira.The intention, says the lawyer Rogerio Alves, is to defend the club itself, which eventually spotted out of this controversy.

However, the interests of the club and the former leader may become incompatible, if it is to prove that the former Inspector of Judicial Police disrupted the "lions" for their own benefit.

The same sources mentioned Regulation stressed that in order not to face the 'vice' that Godinho Lopes held, have reached a deal with matters related to the lions away from the club offices.

Christopher Pereira firm was hired shortly after taking office

The contract between the company's investigation, accused of having ransacked the life of the Sporting players and referees, was signed with the club of Alvalade just after the inauguration of the board chaired by Godinho Lopes, at the end of March 2011. The agreement, according to the PUBLIC found, it was assumed by society Sporting Heritage and Marketing (SPM), at the suggestion of Paul Christopher Pereira, and countersigned by the vice-presidents Carlos Barbosa (who left the leadership last February) and Jose Felipe Nobre Guedes.

Both have already been heard by the Judicial Police (PJ) and claimed ignorance about the true activity of the service.

"The contract was given to me by Paul Pereira Christopher one month after joining the club," admitted the PUBLIC Carlos Barbosa, who presided at the time the SPM: "Strangely, only that it was something related to football, most within the SAD [Sports Limited Company], but he explained to me that this company was in severe debt and had no financial means for this charge.

"Thus, the former leader, told the president Godinho Lopes was aware of everything, eventually sign a contract involving the payment of "just over eight thousand euros, plus another amount, which in total should make up approximately 10 000 euros per month."

Then the document was also signed by Nobre Guedes, architect of the recent financial restructuring Leo.

"That was even though I say to PJ when I was called to testify. Only there is that I was informed that the company was suspected of spying and persecution to the players. To me, he [Christopher Pereira] just said that the contract was intended to "logistics of football '.

I never suspected it was something less than legitimate, "explained Carlos Barbosa, President of the Automobile Club of Portugal. "To my great surprise, the Judicial informed me that he had signed a paper that was the key document in this whole process.

He who made money out of Sporting for this company spy, in turn, was related to the other involving Christopher Paul Pereira, "he said.PUBLIC also sought on Thursday to contact Philip Nobre Guedes, but this was not possible. The same happened against Godinho Lopes, who traveled on Wednesday to Angola, in the company of Jose Maria Ricciardi, vice chairman of the Audit Committee and Discipline of the "lions" and president of Banco Espirito Santo Investment. In this country, those responsible for the Lisbon club seeking an investor and fresh capital for depleted Sporting SAD.

Initially, the former vice president for property, infrastructure and relationships with the cheerleaders came to request a stay of its mandate (a situation not foreseen in the statutes of the club), but ended up going back five days later, after a long meeting in Alvalade, which lasted nine hours.A meeting that, according to the PUBLIC cleared, still raises some of his players. Initially, Godinho Lopes defended the departure of his former vice president to protect the name of Sporting, strongly supported by Luis Nobre Guedes and the vowel (and member of the PS) Paulo Rui Figueiredo. After a pause and a parallel meeting between the president and Christopher Pereira, Leo the leader changed his mind, arguing for the continuity of the leader. This argued throughout the meeting being the victim of a trap laid against him, involving his own PJ, where he has played roles as an inspector.

Arguments that were to succeed, eventually be reinstated against the wishes of many other leaders, including General Meeting led by Eduardo Barroso.

POLICE, WRITER ...
Christopher Pereira has been the subject of multiple suspicious, throughout his life. Gone are the days of calm passed as security, in the higher Institute of judicial police and Criminal Sciences, in Loures. Only years later is that he ran the course of criminal investigator, becoming Inspector, in demanding the Central Direction Banditry (DCCB).

Pereira Cristóvão joined the team that investigated the activities of Eastern mafias in Portugal-was the high point of his career. Years later, faced the first serious accusation. One day, a young man who offered a ride if left party to the police to be heard, in a process of sexual abuse. The next morning, the girl accused him of rape.
