Yeah,its true. The conversations between Porto president and referees and all the corruption are on youtube. Shame that you dont undersand portugues.Either way,here is an example:

This situation happened after the match between Porto and Sporting.After that match on the way to the dressing room Mourinho,then manager of Porto,made an agression on a Sporting player.The referee saw it and took notes. Knowing this,Porto president called to the president of the league and ordered him to make the referees notes disappear.End of story: Mourinho wasnt punished.
Here another example:

This happened one day before the game between Beira Mar and Porto. Porto president calls to a friend that works in the league,Antonio Araujo,and tells him to bring Augusto Duarte,the referee nomenated to the game in the day after,to his house. The men takes the referee there and later its said he was offered money,and if he did the "job" well,he and the rest of the referee team,would be presented with beautiful ladies in a hotel
.
The excuse the referee gave later to have gone to Porto President house that day,was that he needed advices to solve some family issues
,and guess what,since proofs like this phone calls were not allowed,they stayed unpunished.
Another proof: During the investigations,there were detected some strange movements in Cosmos,the company that deals with Portos travels by plane. There were detected some strange travels paid by Porto for 3 or 4 people to Brazil.Well,later everything became clear.It was payment for "jobs".The referees were presented with holidays for them and for the family in Brazil.
Another thing,one day before the police ordered investigations in Porto presidents house,he was told about that and run of to Galiza,in Spain. Of course he denied it and said it was a coincidence.What a coincidence...
