In his long intervention on the network, he gained illegal access to the woman’s email. “In brief, the allegation was as follows: In mid-2016, someone gained access to my ex-partner’s email, and she, a Lusa journalist with experience in these matters, went to PJ to find out about the ‘scammer.'” According to the charge against me when I was arrested on March 15, PJ told them that I was the criminal. I was very confused, because I had never done that, and PJ had never contacted me about “I said that” in front of the Criminal Instructions Court during interrogation, but of course my denial did not make any sense and coercive measures were also taken taking into account this serious allegation, “Among many other allegations, which have since been archived.” Marquez then asks: “What would be normal for the Porto Public Prosecutor’s Office to do in the investigation? Simply ask the Public Prosecution if it is true, and if they have informed my ex-partner, the alleged victim, that Francisco J. Marquez has breached her email. If the answer is yes, there will be good evidence against me, and if the answer is negative, there will be good reason to pursue her, because she fabricated false facts to incriminate her ex-partner.”
The way that FC Porto’s communications director found to clarify the situation was to send a message to PJ through his lawyer Nuno Brandão, who is also defending him in the email case, concluding the report: “And what did you do? Madam Prosecutor.” Who was responsible for the investigation? I only considered the false claim made by my ex to be true. And what did the lady public prosecutor who replaced her do next, when I reminded her, in further questioning, that it was very easy to find out whether it was true or not, just asking the public prosecution? He continued without doing anything, forcing my lawyer, Dr. Nuno Brandão, to request that the Public Prosecution be formally informed if there was any record. In June 2023, the question was posed to the Public Prosecution. P.J. What was the response? The response was that there was no record, and there had never been any complaint. Thus the story that the man from Benfica’s mailboxes had violated the woman’s mailbox collapsed. It’s unbelievable, but it’s true. Not acceptable, but really useful for certain people and a certain way of thinking.”
