Pinto da Costa's accounts emptied before his death | OneFootball

The bank accounts of Pinto da Costa are alleged to have been the target of dozens of withdrawals in the months leading up to his death, according to information contained in an inheritance case brought 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 reportedly already in a very weakened condition. Among the known documentary references is a record dated December indicating a cash withdrawal of 600 thousand euros.

That document, submitted to the court file, supports the allegation that the accounts were gradually drained during a particularly sensitive period in Pinto da Costa's health. According to descriptions associated with the case, the former executive was bedridden at the time and had limitations that raise doubts about his ability to monitor or knowingly authorize transactions of that scale.

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 evidence 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 review in the ongoing proceedings.
