MOn Wednesday, November 22, Manuel Luis Gocha welcomed Marlos Silva, former partner of Carlos Cruz, to his show on TVI. The guest referred to one of the most publicized cases ever in Portugal, the Casa Pia sexual assault scandal – in which the former TV presenter was implicated.
“It was very painful because I knew it was all a lie. I knew it was evil. I knew it was envy. “I knew a lot of people were making money from newspapers and magazines from that.” Marlos reflectsIt is not considered that Carlos Cruz was a scapegoat, but rather that he was the target of “revenge.”
He points out that “Carlos was very strict and correct in his work,” noting that he did not give anyone opportunities on the small screen, which created enemies for him.
Another aspect that left Marlos hurt was the fact that everyone she considered her friends and who frequented her house had moved away. This shows that “invitation letters” for events have stopped appearing, as have phone calls. However, he is grateful for other people who showed up in the midst of the “turmoil” and with whom he built friendships.
As for the process, Marlos It is considered: “I think 90% right now believe in his innocence, from what I see and what I feel and what I read, I think so.” In his view, the investigations were so in-depth that they lent “credibility” to the case.
It is worth noting that the sexual assault scandal broke out on November 23, 2002, after an investigation conducted by journalist Felicia Cabretta, published by Expresso and a report issued by SIC.
Carlos Cruz, who was viewed at the time as “Mr. TV,” was the most popular defendant. He was released in 2016.
