5 March 2015
Former Polícia Judiciária (PJ) detective and ex-Sporting Vice President Paulo Pereira Cristovão was this week arrested on a number of criminal charges, which include kidnapping and robbery. He gained widespread prominence after authoring a book, Estrela da Madeleine (Madeleine’s Star) in which he analyses the disappearance of Madeleine McCann from her holiday apartment almost eight years ago.

Paulo Pereira Cristovão was arrested this week as his former colleagues drew nearer to concluding an investigation
initiated in July 2014 related to a series of criminal charges. Up until this week, investigations had resulted in the arrest of 12 people, including three PSP police officers.
Cristovão, also a former president of the Portuguese Association for Missing Children, has been linked to these 12 suspects and is said to have worked on “identifying potential victims who would then be robbed inside their homes. These robberies would be undertaken by police officers simulating house searches, armed with forged legal warrants. On occasion, these searches would be conducted by officers dressed in their respective uniforms”, culminating in robberies, PJ sources said, following the announcement of Cristovão’s arrest.
Police further explained that these crimes took place in the Greater Lisbon Area and Setúbal to the south, with the assailants often resorting to violence in order to establish where their victims had hidden cash or items of considerable value.
A statement issued by PJ police reveals that three men, aged between 37 and 49, among them Cristivão, 45, were detained by the National Anti-Terrorism Unit on charges which included the use of illegal firearms in a series armed robberies, with victims often being taken against their will.
The trio arrested on Tuesday are alleged to have been responsible for identifying targets for the subsequent and usually violent robberies perpetrated by their 12 accomplices.
Cristovão also worked on the case involving the disappearance of Joana Cipriano, who was eight when she went missing in 2004 from her mother’s home in Figueira, located between Portimão and Lagos in the Algarve.
He was later accused of being present as his colleagues allegedly extracted a confession from Joana’s mother by resorting to physical violence. Leonor Cipriano signed a confession, but retracted it a day later alleging she had been beaten by police officers. According to police, the bruising on her face was due to her having fallen down a flight of stairs at the police station during the interrogation.
Cristovão was later cleared by a Faro court of any wrong-doing, but resigned from PJ police shortly afterwards.
He also published a book on the disappearance of Joana, of whom there is still no trace.
A decision by a Lisbon court is expected shortly, and in the event of deciding to remand the ex-police detective in custody, he would likely be held at the Évora prison where former Prime Minister José Sócrates is currently being kept pending further investigations.

I note Joana is described as having 'disappeared' and later on in the article as..... 'of whom there is still no trace'...............and is not described as 'murdered by her mother'.
Interesting.

Interesting.
I noticed that as well.
Perhaps a slim hope, but I wonder if the PT authorities may reopen that case on the basis of the abject lack of evidence as to the fate of Joana?
Perhaps not, as the case has been through the appeal system.
On the other hand, there is simply no credible evidence as to what happened to her.

It would seem there is a definite shake-up going on in Portugal. Maybe this will include looking again at potential miscarriages of justice, as IIRC - to date not a single case of that nature has ever succeeded. I doubt if there is a country on Earth that has not had miscarriages of justice occur at one time or another - and that must include Portugal.
If Christovao is found to be guilty of the crimes he is accused of - then maybe that proof of his criminality might have any affect on the PT Judicial authority's attitude to the Cipriano case.

I doubt that Cristovão's latest predicament would have any effect on the Joana Cipriano disappearance.
On the other hand, it's possible that the "evidence" (or rather the lack thereof) in that case has at least been a talking point between the Met and the PJ.
I have no idea whether Joana's disappearance could be reviewed as a cold case or not.

Cristoavo being remanded in custody, I find very revealing. It's not very often you see this, in Portugal, even in the most horrid crimes. Is this because of the threat he could pose to witness's etc.
He seemed to have done just as he pleased for years.
I expect their are a few people sleeping more soundly in bed, with him behind bars.
-
Why would the Met be interested in the Cipriano case?
Because a young girl disappeared without trace in the Algarve a couple of years previously, perhaps?
The Met met up with the Swiss police over the murder of Ylenia to see if there was any possible connection, so it would seem plausible that Joana's disappearance would also be on the radar.

I agree. I just wonder if he is found guilty, other unsafe convictions may be quashed(?). Good Lawyers in the UK WOULD push for that.
I don't know what happened to that little girl. I do believe she was abused in some way by her 'family' not well looked after, but I don't know about murder. I also don't believe for one minute the mother fell down stairs in a police station..hahahaha old one that!!

Paulo Pereira Cristovao already on the Campus of Justice in Lisbon, where early on Wednesday begins the trial of Cardinal case. The former vice president of Sporting is accused of a serious fraud crime, another of money laundering, embezzlement two plus a wanton through computer, an illegitimate access and, finally, a slanderous denunciation aggravated. The case was triggered by sending an anonymous letter denouncing an alleged bribe the referee assistant Joseph Cardinal, named for a game between Sporting and the Sea, in April 2012, letter that the president of the Portuguese Football Federation, Fernando Gomes, would reach the PJ, after it was handed by the President of 'lions', Godinho Lopes.

One looks vaguely like Cristovão, the same one that looks vaguely like Gerry and probably like many other people.
No one seems interested in the other one... Is that one of lesser interest? If so, why?

Case Cardinal: Defendant confirms surveillance footballers Sporting
08/04/2015 20:17:46
The former vice president of Sporting Paulo Pereira Cristovao started today on trial in Lisbon, under the 'Cardinal case', in session with the other accused in the case has confirmed that the club watched their players.
Victor Viegas said he was contacted by Paulo Pereira Cristovao, former Inspector of Judicial Police, to make a "monitoring of the assets of the club and its social life," which he called "an almost invisible work".
Viegas said that the contract between your company - Businlog - created for this purpose was signed by Godinho Lopes and Carlos Barbosa, who at the time was president and vice president of Sporting, respectively.
The Businlog hired after two employees to the Right Expert, an undertaking which was linked Paulo Pereira Cristovao, who along with Victor Viegas were in charge of monitoring and support to the players.
Victor Viegas confirmed the existence of a list of names, addresses and license plates of the cars of footballers, explaining that it also had data on women of some players and it was updated as we had inputs and outputs on the roster.
The two employees were, according to Victor Viegas, Joaquim Alves and Rui Martins, which, according to the indictment, will be involved in an attempt to bribe the referee assistant Joseph Cardinal.
The defendant explained that he received monthly Sporting 8,000 euros, of which 6,000 were channeled to the Right Expert to pay the two employees.
Paulo Pereira Cristovao, who is being held in prison in Évora since March 3 as part of another process, decided not to testify at the first session of the trial, presided by Judge Marisa Arnedo.
The former vice president of Sporting is accused of a serious fraud crime, another of money laundering, embezzlement two plus a wanton through computer, an illegitimate access and, finally, a slanderous denunciation aggravated.
About Victor Viegas, which guaranteed never to have been asked for any surveillance referees or members of the club direction, hang the charges of aggravated fraud, money laundering and wanton by computer.
During the afternoon session, the jury court heard the former referee assist José Cardinal - who is an assistant in the process - which has reportedly been the victim of bribery attempt by Paulo Pereira Cristovao.
Cardinal confirmed it had received in your account a sum of 2,000 euros, days before a game between Sporting and the Sea, for which it was named.
Cardinal said he realized that it was a "trap" and so decided to donate the money the association of social solidarity.
"I called Vítor Pereira, president of the Board of Arbitration, and said to him, '. I am the victim of a trap I will ask you to get me out of the game'," said Cardinal.
Former assistant referee said he lived "months of anguish" between December 2011 and April 2012, when the Judicial Police investigated the case after a complaint.
Cardinal explained the whole situation affected your personal and sporting life, adding that eventually gave up the idea of becoming observer after leaving the arbitration.
For the first session was scheduled hearing of former Sporting Godinho Lopes, but was eventually postponed, as the other two witnesses for May 6.
Early in the session, the lawyer Paulo Pereira Cristovao, Paulo Farinha Alves, requested the trial to be made behind closed doors, but the application was rejected.
Last October, as part of the sports courts, the Disciplinary Board of the Portuguese Football Federation suspended Paulo Pereira Cristovao for 15 months and punished him with a fine of three thousand euros.
Paulo Pereira Cristovao is in custody since March 3, charged with aggravated robbery, conspiracy and kidnapping in connection with another case

No doubt, but I don't understand the significance of his arrest in relationship to Madeleine's disappearance.

I wonder why it was postponed. He is in prison, is he not?
No idea, Anna. The Kidnapping of who?, I wonder!
Perhaps he's been beaten up!

The man is not only Portuguese, he is also an ex-cop, best mate and number 1 supporter of Amaral, writer of a book based on the Madeleine case, and all round super great guy. His current "problems" are of course completely irrelevant, in the same way that if Clarence Mitchell was arrested and thrown in jail for fraud it would be completely irrelevant and the sceptics would of course completely ignore it. @)(++(*

There has been a lot of criticism of the McCanns choice of private detectives re their criminal activity. There seems to be a lot of detectives from the PJ involved with the Maddie case who have now got criminal records...strange but true

Paulo Pereira Cristóvão has carved out his own significance in relation to Madeleine McCann.
Paulo Pereira Cristóvão wrote a book about her.
Paulo Pereira Cristóvão became an 'expert' commentator and a pundit in all public arenas concerning the Madeleine McCann disappearance.
The nature of the very serious charges which have been laid against Paulo Pereira Cristóvão and for which he is in prison while awaiting trial ... have relevance to the nature and character of a man who has set himself up as prosecutor, judge and jury in the the Madeleine McCann case.
People who once claimed Paulo Pereira Cristóvão as one of their own and backed him to the hilt suddenly have dropped him like a hot potato.
Should Paulo Pereira Cristóvão be found guilty of even one of the charges for which he is standing trial, the press campaigns he orchestrated and the significance of the career he carved out for himself as an 'expert' on a child he declared was dead ... must give pause for thought to even the most rabid of his fan base.

Cristóvão was not involved in the investigation of Madeleine's disappearance. The only thing he did was write a book about it, as did other people.

Not to worry Davel, they'll never be short of work. I'm sure that once they've done their time they can always apply to the McCanns for work as PIs.

And of course
Paulo Pereira Cristovao was made President of the new Portuguese Association for Missing Children
and he refused to list Madeleine originally as missing ... saying her parents were involved
FGS ... Just WHO appointed such a man to be President of such an organisation?
Cristavao was in the perfect position to watch what developments were taking place in the hunts for the missing children ... and as an "Authority" by dint of his position as head of the Missing Children Organisation his word would carry clout.
Was he appointed with that in mind?
Just WHO appointed him?
Oh YES, he is of interest in the Madeleine case ... even if to only point out that he refused her name to be included in the Missing Children list, intimating that her parents were involved.
And, imo, potentially the people who appointed him could be of interest

Paulo Pereira Cristovao, former Inspector of Judicial Police (PJ) and former vice president of Sporting will await trial in custody, the Prison of Évora, the chain that is also arrested Jose Socrates. Another of the three detainees on Tuesday - one of the leaders in the fanclub Sporting Juve Leo, known as "Mustafa" - is also in custody but in another prison. Only the third suspect, Nuno Lobito, was released. The decision was taken by judge Carlos Alexandre after several days of interrogation.
Paulo Pereira Cristovao is indicted for theft crimes and kidnapping. It is suspected to choose and monitor some of the victims of a conspiracy. Some of the network suspects had been arrested in the past year.
Former Vice Sporting Godinho Lopes in the mandate is in custody on the eve of starting to be tried for seven crimes: is accused, among other things, to have set up a trap to the referee Joseph Cardinal to come to incriminate for corruption. The trial is scheduled for April 8 in the criminal courts of Lisbon.
Paulo Pereira Christopher began his career as safety of Sporting, after having risen to inspector. Passed for combating banditry and, later, the unit investigating economic crimes. It was one of those chosen to investigate the disappearance of Joana Cipriano, in Portimão, in 2004, and would sit in the dock, accused of attacks on Joana's mother, Leonor Cipriano. He was acquitted. Two years later, surrounded by disciplinary proceedings, eventually to resign.
When out of the PJ, Christopher opens a business intelligence company, founded a Missing Children Association and starts writing books - some of them, like the one dealt with the investigation into the disappearance of Joana - were bestsellers.
Running for president of Sporting, loses, and later was invited by Godinho Lopes to be the vice president who had the responsibilities, among others, safety issues and cheerleading.

At the time Madeleine vanished, there was talk that Cristovao was a reporter / feature writer on the newspaper Diário de Notícias.
This paper put out much of the disinformation and propaganda about The Mccanns IIRC ... and there was speculation that Amarals lot were passing the disinformation on to Cristovao. And that he was facilitating it.
I have no way of knowing if this is correct, but there was considerable talk about it at the time.
As shown by many pictires of them together, it seems likely IMO

Paulo Pereira Cristóvão: De segurança da PJ a dirigente do Sporting
* Paul's Profile Christopher Pereira published in the SUN of April 20, 2012
*snip*
In the Judicial Police (PJ), Paulo Pereira Cristovao was known as the 'opener gates'. Tall and burly, joined the police in 1990 as security. He was 21 years. Its function was to be the door, lift the gate and forward the prisoners. Years later, an internal competition took him up the inspector, but who lived with him says that physical strength has always been its most striking feature. "It is a great guy, hitting that is sick ', describes with a former colleague of PJ.
The case of Joan, which was accused - and acquitted - the mother of the child to the crime of torture, made him a famous man in 2007. In the midst of the scandal caused by the suspicion that he and his colleagues have succeeded confession to blow, Christopher Pereira asked the dismissal of the PJ. Back, was a resume with various situations unclear and open disciplinary proceedings after a young girl, the victim of a case as investigating inspector, to accuse him of sexual coercion. The complaint was withdrawn and the archived process.
The TV and the cause of children
Publicly, the former inspector begins to make an impression in TVI morning programs, right out of the Police. "I invited him to comment on the cases of Justice You on TV because he was a former PJ and could speak freely," recalls the journalist Hernâni Carvalho, who returned to cross with Christopher over a year later in the studios of SIC. Hernani ensures that were not friends. "I have nothing good or bad to say about him."
The presence on television and media exposure gain to review the case of Maddie McCann give you access to the literary world. Also in 2007, writes Joan's Star on the case of the Algarve girl. A year later, edits The Star of Madeleine and a novel about "the life of most corrupt police inspector." Some Ugly, Other Pigs, All Maus is to date the only foray into fiction. But in 2010 gives the print took me a book on the case of Rui Pedro.
The disappearance of minors becomes public because it defends. Together with the lawyer António Pragal Colaco, creates the Portuguese Association of Missing Children, which is now recognized as IPSS (Private Institution of Social Solidarity). Paulo Pereira Cristovao became president of the association, it belongs to the mother of Rui Pedro, but is no longer part of the organization chart. And Pragal Colaco refuses to talk about who says no longer be your friend. "I do not want to pry it" merely respond, without explaining reasons that led him to break for seven months the relationship between the two.
By the inverse reason, the current president of the Trade Union Association of Criminal Investigation Workers (ASFIC), Carlos Garcia, also refuses to speak: "I am his friend. I will not say anything. " Gonçalo Amaral - who was to be sentenced for false statements in the case in which it shared with Pereira Cristovao the dock because of Joana case - does not stretch in comments: "I had little contact with him. But I have good personal and professional printing. "
Those who knew him at the time ran the country in book signings, traces his portrait as someone who "has a lot of throat, a true braggers, committing many inconfidências to show that knows everything about everyone."
About a year ago, the lawyer of the parents of Maddie made a complaint against Pereira Cristovao for unlawful prosecution, the Bar, because of a former police company. "I report whenever there is a company that provides legal advice service - something only lawyers can do," says Isabel Duarte.

The pointers at the moment apparently indicate that Ex-PJ detective Paulo Pereira Cristóvão is considered to be a very dangerous man indeed who will be held in prison for the duration of the trials for the serious offences with which the Portuguese authorities have charged him.
This may be for quite a long period as the present trial concerns only his alleged sporting offences.
If I were you I would think twice about associating myself with him ... everybody else who is anybody has ... in fact I think you would probably be hard pushed to find anyone in Portugal who knew him in anything other than a 'professional' and working capacity ... but even that it seems may have as many hazards as being a personal friend.

Let's get one thing entirely clear, Stephen, I have never accused Paulo Pereira Cristóvão of a personal involvement in Madeleine McCann's disappearance.
I have accused him of being instrumental in throwing dirt at her parents in the aftermath.
He has not yet been judged on the many charges laid against him ... so if there is any desperation going the rounds anywhere it is probably more prevalent among his associates in Portugal than anywhere else.
In future do not put words into my mouth.

We have a chain from a smelly bin man up to "Christopher" [as Google translate would have him] or down depending upon ones perception of the hierarchy I suppose. Was he a person of interest interviewed on behalf of The Yard one wonders?. He is clearly a heavy dude but .............................? and still no arrests on the MM front.
As far as the McCann case is concerned "Christopher" seems to be a side show for the amusement of a few posters on here.

No, Stephen, I do not try to turn everything into a personal slanging match if I cannot defend my position, unlike some.
Neither do I need to attack Paulo Pereira Cristóvão ... the Portuguese State appears to have that all well in hand.
May I remind you the dirt he was throwing consisted of scandalous lies ... but as you say, "He was doing his job" ... and it seems he was doing it as dishonourably as he was when he was dismissed from the PJ in dubious circumstances.

Hi Lyall ... &%5y% ... think we may be discussing Ex-PJ detective Paulo Pereira Cristóvão.

You're discussing him because he's a crook (allegedly) though you have no link between him and this case (other than he wrote a book).
You're only talking about him to smear GA (primarily) but also Portugal and their police.
There are links between crooks (not allegedly) and the case: the 'detectives'. Yet we don't use them to smear the Fund do we.

Ergo, he rates no mention at all by Summers and Swan. Not one.

I guess if the Portuguese judiciary is as bent as you seem to have suggested down the months "Christopher" would not have been arrested and charged. His mates would have bought him a one way ticket to a former Portuguese colony, lined his pockets with ill gotten Euros and witnesses would be integral parts of bridge buttresses.
That doesn't seem to have happened. What appears to have happened is a crook who was once a copper among other things will be in the dock with his oppos.
That has happened quite a lot everywhere there is a police force.

For the same reason as they didn’t mention Levy, Sonia, Brenda and her friends and all the others who enjoy discussing the McCanns in the same way as Cristovao did in his book, articles, interviews and blogs?
However most of the persons mentioned above had their own space on here apart from Cristovao....He has, now though.
A wee connection to McCanns..........
Last updated at 01:33 21 April 2008
Excerpt:-
As for Cristovao, he left the PJ after the Joana case to become a writer.
Last year, as a columnist for Diario de Noticias, he became a prolific commentator on the Madeleine inquiry, writing a series of articles apparently derived in part from conversations with his former colleagues.
Last month, with the publication of his book The Star Of Madeleine, currently the Algarve's No3 bestseller, he has mounted a robust defence of the PJ in general and Amaral in particular.
"In the PJ's opinion, everything written about Amaral in the British Press had one purpose - to get him taken off the case," Cristovao's book says.
"He was a piece of meat on the barbecue of the British media, which accused him of drinking too much, dressing badly, having a prominent belly and spending too much time at lunch.
"He was too much the normal Portuguese policeman ... when what the British wanted was the British way of doing things."
The book, much of it composed of a fictional dialogue between two fictional PJ officers, Francisco and Joao, recycles some of the cruellest smears against the McCanns, such as the claim that Gerry did not get sufficiently involved in the children's routines. Such information, it claims, gave the police "an idea how the family functioned".
It also contains details that can have come only from inside the investigation: as a view of PJ thinking, it may well be as authentic an account as has yet been given.
If so, its conclusions are shocking, among them the view that Madeleine is dead and that if her parents did not kill her physically, they did so by their public campaign to find her.
"The publicity given to her face was her death warrant - that's if she really left that apartment still alive," he writes.
Cristovao refused to meet me, saying that too many British journalists were "racist".
But I managed to ask him whether he was not worried that the McCanns might sue him for libel, pointing out that they had been awarded £550,000 against four newspapers last month. "I'm expecting that," he replied. "I've no fear. It will be a big joy."

More of Amarals pals in court, along with Dear Julia.
Julia Pinheiro in the court of Maia

The case relates to the integrated line in "Dear morning" the SIC, in which Hernani Carvalho said cases of police that are part of today's agenda and where he addressed the issue of inspector of the Judicial Police of Porto, referring to Ana Saltão as "the author" of Montes Claros murder, and weave "some remarks" about her personality, reads the indictment.
The judge held that "the alleged facts" in the television line by Ana Saltão "are not limited to the [alleged] authorship of a crime of murder." "They are not under the public interest populist and sensationalist messages that appeal to free feelings of indignation and revolt", also notes the indictment.

6th May
Rui Martins, one of the key witnesses from ' Cardinal ' case, said this Wednesday in court that the Sporting Vice President Paulo Pereira Cristóvão asked him to destroy evidence linked to the deposit in the account of the Assistant Referee José Cardinal.
"A day or two after I made the deposit in Funchal, Paulo Pereira Cristóvão told me to throw away the clothes and the hat I used and, after I questioned why, said only that paid me the value of clothing," said Rui Martins.
The former employee of Primus Lex, a company of Paulo Pereira Cristóvão, confirmed have traveled to Funchal, at the request of former Vice President ' Leo ', to make a deposit of 2000 euros, in cash, an account of which was only the Bank identification number (NIB).
"He ordered me to go to the Madeira make a deposit"
"The December 19, 2011, asked me personal data to buy airline tickets and ordered me to go to the Madeira to make a deposit," he explained, adding: "at his request I didn't sign my name on the deposit slip, made just a scribble (...) and when I returned to Lisbon handed the ticket at a desk ".
At issue is a 2000 EUR deposit made on account of Joseph Cardinal, days before a game between the Sporting and the sea, for which the Assistant Referee was appointed. Later he was sent an anonymous letter denouncing an alleged bribe to Cardinal, letter that the President of the Portuguese Football Federation, Fernando Gomes, would reach the judicial police, after the same have been delivered by the President of the ' Lions ', Godinho Lopes.
The witness explained that he only realised the scale of the problem months later, on the eve of the searches, when he saw a news story that spoke in that warehouse. "Joined the news to my going to Madeira. Questioned by Paulo Pereira Cristóvão message, which was in Bilbao, and he replied: ' tomorrow '. Never talked about, "he said.
Surveillance the footballers
Rui Martins, who in the video footage collected in Bank agency of Funchal comes up with his cap on his head and a coat, explained that Paulo Pereira Cristóvão Secretary handed him shortly after arriving in Lisbon, a sealed envelope to be delivered in the House of Paulo Pereira Cristóvão.
The witness said not knowing the existence of personal data lists of referees and players, but admitted to having done surveillance to three Sporting players: Jeffrén, Carrillo and Onyewu. " There were players who were more problematic, what was required of me was to see if they were at home after a certain time. I passed by the houses and via if there was light on and if the cars were parked, "he explained.
Rui Martins admitted that Paulo Pereira Cristóvão asked him to create a company, the Right Expert, which came through another company, Businlog, monies paid by Sporting for a follow-up of the assets of the Club.
Christopher "knew how to give back"
The Head Office of the Right Expert, who was actually a company managed by Paulo Pereira Cristóvão, was the home of the mother of Rui Martins. "My mother doesn't know how to read and write and Paulo Pereira Cristóvão knew that," said Rui Martins, confirming that the former Vice President of Sporting was the only moving company Bill that, in total, have received 57 thousand euros.
Rui Martins said agreeing to cooperate in the establishment of company for being in order to contract with Primus Lex and admitted that Paulo Pereira Cristóvão knew how to give back.
The Court, chaired by judge Marisa Arnedo, will continue to listen to the May 13 Rui Martins, in the morning and hear Godinho Lopes during the afternoon of the same day. The hearing of former President of Sporting was scheduled for today but was postponed due to lack of time.
Pereira Cristóvão, who is detained in prision de Évora since March 3 in the context of another process, is accused of a crime of swindling qualified, another of money laundering, two of embezzlement, another of wanton through illegitimate access, a computer and, finally, one of calumnious denunciation aggravated.

It seems to have been the modus operandi used to set up Joseph Cardinal which no doubt the present criminal prosecution will address.
I think there are indeed serious questions to be asked about the mystery money deposited in the bank account of one of the first officers who attended the scene of Madeleine's disappearance on the 3rd May.
The people who question everything seem to miss this one for some reason.
How does Christopher Pereira tried to incriminate Joseph Cardinal
Published em 27 nov 2014 às 00:05
**snip
Paulo Pereira Cristovao was meticulous in trying to blame the assistant referee Jose Cardinal false practices of corruption. According to the judgment of the Justice Council of the Portuguese Football Federation, former leader of Sporting was thoroughly investigated and the final conclusion did not leave room for doubt: it was the sole author of the plan.
It started with the creation of a database of all referees. The first step was to ask the Eurico Gomes, Sporting SAD employee, a list of all the referees and assistants qualified to direct League matches; later, by an employee of the Tax Authority married to a friend, had access to additional information such as number of taxpayer income, NIB, movable and immovable property and identification of the spouse of all referees and assistants.
Being in possession of such privileged information, Paulo Pereira Cristóvão set up a scheme to Joseph Cardinal not apitasse the game Marítimo-Sporting, the quarter finals of the Cup of Portugal, held at December 16, 2011, because there were not forgotten in a draw home with Olhanense, on the opening day, marked by a possible penalty not marked in favor of the lions, and the defeat in the final of the League Cup with a controversial penalty was given to Pedro Silva. The strategy would be to deposit money into the account assistant referee to criminalize corruption, then asking 1236 euros to the Department of Heritage and Marketing Alvalade club.
Then instructed Rui Martins, his former employee, to travel to Funchal, which would carry out a deposit of two thousand euros in Joseph Cardinal account. Barely realized the deposit, Joseph Cardinal asked, however, excuse the Maritime-Sporting game, opting to donate that amount to the Cerebral Palsy Association of Porto.
The next day, Christopher Pereira waited president Godinho Lopes to hand him an envelope with the following message: "Sir Dr Godinho Lopes, you are serious and deserve the information I'm tired of depriving a man who lives in the rot and corruption.. See an example of unspoiled team arbitration that will be at the Maritime game. I think the rest has the same table. It does not matter who I am and only care that you help clean this garbage of society. Do what you want with this evidence that came to me. " Shortly after, Fernando Gomes, the president of the FPF was briefed by Chairman of Sporting.
The last step of Pereira Cristovao was call Peter Fonseca, the Coordinator of the Unit for Combating Corruption of the Judicial Police, to give account envelope and its contents, while Fernando Gomes remitted the envelope received by Godinho Lopes for Police Judiciary and the Attorney General's Office.

No, I thnk the GNR guy like any other member of the public had money into his account, if he did that is, from a totally normal transaction like a house sale or an inheritance and some sought to use that as some kind if evidence or proof that the portuguese police had kidnapped Madeleine....totally bonkers IMO

IIRC, Mercury, This chap denied ever depositing it.
I think there was some confusion, because it was someone else with same name.
I can't check that now....It's too late, but I think that was the case.

Maddie cop took £100k
ONE of the first officers at the scene the night Madeleine McCann disappeared had £100,000 deposited in bank accounts soon after, it was claimed.
By Tom Worden / Published 22nd June 2009
The policeman is being investigated by anti-corruption detectives, Portuguese TV station TVI reported.
National Republican Guard (GNR) officers searched the apartment and area around the McCanns’ holiday flat in Praia da Luz before the investigation was taken over by the Judicial Police.
The GNR was later criticised for destroying potential clues by trampling through the crime scene, contaminating the area.
The television station, which did not name the corporal under investigation, said several payments were made into two accounts in the officer’s name “shortly after Maddie’s disappearance”.
The TV channel said the policeman denied knowing anything about the money and suggested his name may have been used without his know-ledge to open the accounts.
Police sources said he is known as an honest officer.
Costa Lima, spokesman for the GNR, told newspaper 24 Horas: “We have not opened any investigation into any officer involved in the Maddie case, nor do we have knowledge of any other body investigating anyone.”
Madeleine, now six, disappeared while on a family holiday on the Algarve.
Her parents Gerry and Kate, both 41, doctors from Rothley, Leics, have launched a campaign to find her.

Paulo Pereira Cristóvão perplexo por se manter em prisão domiciliária

Paulo Pereira Cristóvão confessa ter estado envolvido num assalto a uma residência em Cascais no qual foram roubados 85 mil euros. Detido em casa, o ex-dirigente sportinguista aceitou falar em exclusivo ao Sexta às 9 sobre os processos judiciais que enfrenta.
O ex-inspetor da PJ mostra-se arrependido de alguns atos mas diz-se preparado para enfrentar uma eventual condenação.
Mas, 11 meses após ter sido detido, Paulo Pereira Cristóvão já não compreende por que se mantém em prisão domiciliária quando há outros arguidos do mesmo processo que têm cadastro e estão em liberdade.

No, he wasn't. Cristóvão left the PJ - or had been invited to choose a different career - at the beginning of 2007.
His book on Joana (which preceded the Maddie one) was launched at the beginning of September 2007.

It will be interesting to see how seriously Justice considers the offences committed in the Sporting Lisbon case to be with the severity or not of the sentence.
The accusations in the forthcoming trial are every bit as shocking if not more so, when one considers the unique position of trust held by this man.

English police officers wore findMadeeline ribbons (or somesuch)
Eddie had no hesitation in alerting to the Renault Scenic.
Madeleine was driven dead in the Renault Scenic to Huelva, Spain.
Gerry hid Madeleine on the beach.
The catalogue goes on and on ....
Then it's a shame it's not Amaral Eleanor was talking about.

Cristóvão what ?

By all means discuss the individual but don't pretend he has anything at all to do with this case.
His book on Madeleine's case was so convincing a Spanish newspaper printed quite a bit of it as 'fact' ... some of which I believe are still being quoted on internet sites to the present day.
He had quite a bit to do with Madeleine's case.

Between 1990 and 2007 Paulo Pereira Cristovao was in the Policia Judiciaria as an inspector. He worked in the departments of Combate y Bandidismo, human trafficking, terrorism, and eastern Mafias.
In his publishing success “A Estrela de Madeleine” – recently pubhished in Portugal by the publisher Presença – he confirms with names and surnames all Amaral’s theories:
their little girl died; they concealed it to avoid a Portuguese prison, which they consider Third World;
they involved their friends and high British officials (the presence of MI6 in the area is common knowledge with police and journalists living in the Algarve since then;
they made the body disappear;
turned the case of the disappearance into the biggest media event in all history;
they put forward a false trail in press conference.
No one has sued Pereira Cristavao. His work is not on the shelves of bookstores: it is sold piled on top of the counters.

Unless Pereira Cristóvão was a member of the PJ at the time of Madeleine's disappearance then he has no relevance to the case.
TBH by the time Cristóvão published his book I could have written a similar tome.

Any scapegoat will do...they all "deserve "to be miserable and feal fear" after all

This man had a great deal of relevance to Madeleine's case and in my opinion the only way you or anyone else could write a similar tome would be if you enjoyed a friend at the heart of the inquiry into Madeleine's case who was feeding you information.
Madeleine: The damning case against the police by Britain's top investigative reporter

As for Cristovao, he left the PJ after the Joana case to become a writer. Last year, as a columnist for Diario de Noticias, he became a prolific commentator on the Madeleine inquiry, writing a series of articles apparently derived in part from conversations with his former colleagues.
Last month, with the publication of his book The Star Of Madeleine, currently the Algarve's No3 bestseller, he has mounted a robust defence of the PJ in general and Amaral in particular.
"In the PJ's opinion, everything written about Amaral in the British Press had one purpose - to get him taken off the case," Cristovao's book says.
"He was a piece of meat on the barbecue of the British media, which accused him of drinking too much, dressing badly, having a prominent belly and spending too much time at lunch.
"He was too much the normal Portuguese policeman ... when what the British wanted was the British way of doing things."
The book, much of it composed of a fictional dialogue between two fictional PJ officers, Francisco and Joao, recycles some of the cruellest smears against the McCanns, such as the claim that Gerry did not get sufficiently involved in the children's routines. Such information, it claims, gave the police "an idea how the family functioned".
It also contains details that can have come only from inside the investigation: as a view of PJ thinking, it may well be as authentic an account as has yet been given.
If so, its conclusions are shocking, among them the view that Madeleine is dead and that if her parents did not kill her physically, they did so by their public campaign to find her.
"The publicity given to her face was her death warrant - that's if she really left that apartment still alive," he writes.
Cristovao refused to meet me, saying that too many British journalists were "racist".
But I managed to ask him whether he was not worried that the McCanns might sue him for libel, pointing out that they had been awarded £550,000 against four newspapers last month.
"I'm expecting that," he replied. "I've no fear. It will be a big joy."

By the time Cristovao published his book the McCanns were arguidos and almost all the information in the book was public knowledge anyway. I'm afraid he's as relevant to the case as James Murray or David Rose himself.

Funny how certain quotes from an article leap out. You noticed his "robust defence of the PJ in general and Amaral in particular".
I noticed, "The book, much of it composed of a fictional dialogue between two fictional PJ officers, Francisco and Joao, recycles some of the cruellest smears against the McCanns, such as the claim that Gerry did not get sufficiently involved in the children's routines.

"The publicity given to her face was her death warrant - that's if she really left that apartment still alive," he writes."
In my opinion a viciously cruel book which as the no 3 best seller in the Algarve obviously must have had a subversive effect on any investigation into Madeleine's disappearance.

I have to say I had no interest in this case until late 2013. The reason I highlighted the robust defence bit was:
a) My observation that if I press this button here that motor over there will fire up; and
b) because my observation since late 2013 is there is much juvenile sneering and sniping directed at anything Portuguese in defence of a couple who for the most part are a total unknown to the sneerers and snipers.
I will leave you to write that little scenario with names other than McCann, Amaral, Cristavao et al and see what objective conclusions you come to then.

Snap! My interest in Madeleine's case began in 2013 when the her case was reopened. It seems you and I were both subjected to a rapid learning curve which took you in one direction and me in another.

Speaking for myself, and based on this research it would be factually correct to say that I was more intelligent than the average Portuguese reader

It seems you have clarified, that on the basis of the cite you have taken the trouble to provide, the question was not goading ... merely research based and relevant by dint of the 2006 date.
However it would be interesting to see where we would all be in the league table were the same research carried out in 2016.

Weren't you surprised to discover that there were camps where a missing child was concerned? I was astounded.

Surprised no, disturbed yes to the extent that the child to all intents and purposes becomes the last consideration. Oh plenty of lip service is given to be sure but as long as one side can jeer at the other .............. &%+((£
In a world where a football match can be the catalyst that sets two countries at war over old sores, nothing comes as much of a surprise anymore.

bit of a cheap and misgiuded post...whilst I disagree with and dislike some of the most extreme on here I'm sure what we all really want is justice for Maddie...on that we are all agreed

I think justice for Madeleine is finding out what may have happened to her and hopefully finding enough evidence to bring those responsible to trial.
Incompatible with that aim in my opinion, are those who indulge in polls objecting to taxpayers' money being spent on what Scotland Yard have told us remains an active investigation into the case of a missing child.
I have never heard of such an objection designed to obstruct law enforcement from doing their job when there are stated avenues of investigation still open.
Has anyone else ever heard of an example?

The camps are very very old news, they were the result of "supporters" telling people what was what and what to think...we are talking about may 2007 here on long gone forums...and of course the mccanns and co "campaigns"
