Pinto da Costa’s accounts drained in the months before his death | OneFootball

The bank accounts of Pinto da Costa were allegedly the target of dozens of withdrawals in the months leading up to his death, according to information contained in an inheritance case filed by his eldest son, Alexandre Pinto da Costa.

According to the information available in the case, the transactions involved large sums at a time when the former FC Porto president was already said to be in a very weakened condition. Among the known documentary references is a record dated December indicating a cash withdrawal of 600,000 euros.

That document, submitted to the court file, supports the allegation that the accounts were gradually emptied during a particularly sensitive period in Pinto da Costa's health. According to descriptions linked to the case, the former official was bedridden at the time and had limitations that raise doubts about his ability to properly monitor or authorize transactions of that size in an informed manner.

The case arises in the context of the dispute related to the inheritance and division of assets, in a legal battle that must now determine the context of the withdrawals, their legality, and the circumstances in which they were made.

For now, the known information points to a significant number of financial transactions carried out shortly before the death of the former Porto president, a matter that is expected to remain under analysis in the ongoing proceedings.
