It's unfortunate for Holm's that the pure intentions and the conclusion of this piece (who were meant to be more clear and truthful) get obscured due to really bad decisions of which the more glaring is when the director decides focus on the Portugal part of this case in detriment of the analisis of the more interesting worldwide case, where the illicit schemes were evident inside the courts as well as outside. To make it worse, in Portugal Holms chooses characters of known ill repute, banned from stadiums around the world and known(some say very violent) criminals to front the fight against the established corruption.

Very poor to say the least, superficial and some might even say distracting from the real issues.

Shameful piece of supposed journalism
nsbettencourt4 November 2023
It's quite astonishing when a "journalistic" piece is aired without all the facts being investigated. At this time Rui Pinto and Anibal Pinto have been found guilty of numerous crimes. All the interviewed personalities are directly related to FCPorto and have been considered guilty or suspects in cases of corruption, violence (including domestic) and sharing illegal information. FCPorto is the one and only football club in Portugal to be considered in a corruption trial and was forced to loose points in a league. If all the evidences were admitted, it would have been more arming for the institution. The toxic climate of Portugal's league is solely created by FCPorto ( take a few minutes and google for the managers and directors threatening referees).

This is an biased and poorly investigated piece.

One last thought, if Nélio Lucas was guilty why did he call the police before the first meeting?
