That link is mental! No idea where they got any of that from unless they just looked up castleshore on the internet and picked his name etc off the website. Quality journalism in action there!
Where did they get a link to Bob Holt and Mike Diamandis then? |

Isn't it just a blog. Is it actually affiliated with any form of journalism whatsoever, or is it the inane ramblings of the Portuguese inequivalent of a "thisis" poster?

Plucked out of their Potugese arses i'd imagine!  He isn't even a football fan so wouldn't know who the hell they were! |

Diamandis isn't a football fan either though, he just bought some shares for a laugh

That's brilliant on closer inspection it appears to be a thisis blog rant like Batch mentions but it's trailing in loads of the comments sections on the Portuguese footy sites.
You'll have to tell your father in law of his international notoriety as a millionaire fraudster that brought down one of the biggest clubs in Portugal!

This really is messing with my head now.
I think this Sergio Silva was arrested 3 days after making an announcement that Castleshore were about to take over Boavista.
Theres something in this.

It would seem it's a blog quoting from an "email" posted on another blog. Hardly rock solid, but interesting those two names crop up. I'd guess most likely it's down to a Portuguese fan looking up Castleshore on Companies House and finding only one company listed - a dissolved company in Swindon, then putting two and two together to make quinto. "Dodgy investment front company apparently based in Swindon but gone bust? Football connections? I make that Pimms O'Clock". |

According to the mail, the club linked to CastleShore - which also is being investigated by British authorities - is the Swindon Town.
that's the bit that worries me.

Yeees, but these are all just people blogging on the same email the first blog cites. So it's multiple comments on one initial unverified source. Which as I speculated above is as likely to have made the "link" by making an unwarranted assumption from the sole listing of a company named Castleshore on CH as being in Swindon |

Right heres how I see it. Boavista are in dire straights financially because of payments on their stadium. They were relegated last season for bribing referees.
A man called Sergio Silva tried to buy Boavista saying he had a 38.5million euro investment from a company called Castleshore. He was arrested 2 days later because his bank documents were false and was sentenced to two years in prison in June.
The connections to Swindon do seem more murky. It would be interesting to know what actually happened in this trial and who they mentioned. My guess is that Diamandis and Holt are involved through Jose Veiga somehow? That does seem to be what these Portugese fans are alleging?
