Carolina Salgadoとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Carolina Salgado is a former partner of FC Porto's president Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa. A former escort, Carolina Salgado became known as Pinto da Costa's companion in the early 2000s. After the couple split, she published a controversial book "Eu, Carolina" (Me, Carolina, officially ghost written by Maria Fernanda Freitas, although the later claims there were substantial changes from the manuscript) in December 2006, presenting some quarters of Portuguese football as a promiscuous world, and revealing details of her relationship with her former partner Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa. It was alleged by Carolina Salgado and widely reported in the news media, that Pinto da Costa (who was formally accused in the Apito Dourado sports corruption scandal in June 2007) was tipped off to the investigation by one of his personal friends inside the police department conducting the investigation. He left the country with his (then) partner, Carolina Salgado, hours before the police raided his house, where they did not find the documents they were looking for. Other serious accusations were made by Carolina, including match fixing, bribing referees with prostitutes and ordering the beating of Gondomar municipality councilman Ricardo Bexiga. She claims her book is a truthful testimony of facts, and after the publishing she was summoned to appear before a magistrate investigating alleged attempts to influence referees in the scandal called Apito Dourado. Pinto da Costa denied all allegations to the news media.
