United Kingdom denies judge seeking Joao Rentero – Observer

Former UK banker João Rendeiro has refused to provide information on possible entries and departures to the Portuguese court. According to the fraudulent letter sent by Judge Tania Luriro Gomes, who sentenced Rentiro to ten years in prison, the court must confirm the purpose of his request.

1. Ensuring that the purpose is to identify the person in question
2. If that is not the purpose, please indicate what crimes are under investigation to justify such information
3. If the location of the individual is objective, the Federal Commission of the United Kingdom recommends the Portuguese court to make this request in the context of cooperation between law enforcement officials.

De Jesus Rentero (currently under house arrest). Contrary to the process at the hands of Judge Tania Luriro Gomes, the former banker’s whereabouts are now under investigation, which is under judicial secrecy, and has already been investigated and made public.
