'Fábio Veríssimo case': TAD already reviewing FC Porto's appeal | OneFootball

FC Porto's appeal against the 12,750 euro fine imposed by the Disciplinary Council (CD) of the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF), related to the so-called 'television case', has already been submitted to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (TAD). The club appealed following the complaint filed by Fábio Veríssimo after the dragons' match against SC Braga, seeking the annulment of the sanction.

FC Porto believes that the fine is almost equal to the amount Benfica paid in a case of pitch invasion that occurred at the end of the derby with Sporting, where a fan confronted referee João Pinheiro and the 4th referee Gustavo Correia. This process was initiated following a complaint filed by the dragons, who alleged an attempted assault.

The fine to FC Porto resulted from the projection, on a television in the referees' dressing room, of images of a controversial play from the match with SC Braga. The process also includes another situation related to images of a play in the Pontinha Tournament, which also involved referee Fábio Veríssimo.
