A second Benfica director has been charged in a corruption investigation involving Portugal's biggest club, authorities confirmed on Wednesday. Portugal's public prosecutor, the PGR, told AFP that Benfica vice-president Fernando Tavares had been charged, after club president Luis Felipe Vieira was charged in Tuesday.
A source close to the investigation had said on Tuesday that Vieira had been charged with "influence peddling".
The PGR said that the "Operation Lex" investigation by the anti-corruption unit of Portugal's national police had so far led to 12 people being charged in total, including two Court of Appeal judges and a sporting director. Some 30 raids have been carried out in the investigation into "corruption, obtaining undue advantage, laundering of capital, influence peddling and aggravated tax fraud".
