João Diogo Manteigas wants Benfica rival punished: none will go free | OneFootball

he has once again hardened his rhetoric in the context of the email case, demanding punishment for Porto. Following the Constitutional Court’s decision, the lawyer is calling for those responsible to be punished “without mercy or pity,” warning from the outset about the seriousness of the situation.

In a post, the former candidate recalls that “the criminal who stole information from Sport Lisboa e Benfica and shared it with the former communications director of Futebol Clube do Porto” was sentenced to “four years, suspended.” Even so, he stresses that “the compensation […] will never cover the damage caused,” arguing that the impact of the case goes far beyond its financial value.

The lawyer also points to failures by the Eagles throughout the process, emphasizing that Benfica “never filed a complaint against Futebol Clube do Porto with the FPF Disciplinary Board” and instead chose to rely on “an alleged disciplinary inquiry from 2017 […] which, in the end, never existed.”

Given this scenario, João Diogo Manteigas issues a clear warning: “There is a possibility of disciplinary limitations expiring in favor of an abusive club that must be severely punished, without mercy or pity”. The risk of the process losing its practical effect worries the lawyer, who argues for swift and decisive action.
