Complaint against Carlos Cabreiro for false statements and illegal wiretapping in Rui Pinto case
According to Google News PT — Crime (pt), David Freitas filed a formal complaint against Carlos Cabreiro, director of the Judicial Police, for allegedly making false statements in court and for ordering an illegal telephone wiretap in the proceedings of hacker Rui Pinto.
The complaint centres on two distinct allegations: that Cabreiro lied before the court and that he abused his position by ordering an interception of communications without legal basis, in the context of investigations related to Rui Pinto, the Portuguese citizen who became known for illegally accessing confidential data from football clubs and public figures.
Rui Pinto became a controversial figure in Portugal after the Public Prosecution Service accused him of several computer crimes, whilst his supporters presented him as a whistleblower of public interest. The alleged abuse of power by Cabreiro is set within this complex judicial context.
The complaint filed by David Freitas could trigger a disciplinary or criminal proceeding against the PJ official. For now, Carlos Cabreiro has not issued any public statement in response to the accusations.
