Sport Lisboa e Benfica made a statement this Friday regarding the lack of decisions on the email case, requesting clarification from the Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation. The club from Luz recalls that, between April 2017 and February 2018, FC Porto SAD used official channels to disclose illicitly obtained content, formulating serious accusations of corruption and referee manipulation. And Benfica also writes that such conduct was practiced in the exercise of functions, with knowledge and public support from the administration of FC Porto SAD. The process in the Disciplinary Council was initiated at the end of 2017, but after more than eight and a half years, it still has no development. Benfica expects to know if, and how, FC Porto can be sports-sanctioned. Finally, the club from Luz recalls that the judicial decision has already been finalized, with no possibility of appeal, and that it is imperative that the Disciplinary Council clarifies the sports consequences and sanctions to be applied to FC Porto SAD. Sport Lisboa e Benfica informs that it has directed a request for clarification to the Disciplinary Council of the Portuguese Football Federation regarding the measures and sports consequences that the Disciplinary Council will withdraw from the judicial decision. But the club from Luz emphasizes that such conduct was practiced in the exercise of functions, with knowledge and public support from the administration of FC Porto SAD. So Benfica understands that there are no longer any facts to be investigated or analyzed at this point. Sport Lisboa e Benfica requests clarification from the Disciplinary Council on the email case, which involves FC Porto SAD. The club from Luz recalls that the judicial decision has already been finalized, with no possibility of appeal.
