Jorge Mendes' homes were a part of a series of searches conducted on Wednesday as Portuguese authorities investigate tax evasion and money laundering at some of the country’s top clubs.
The Portuguese attorney's office confirmed that the searches were conducted on Wednesday as part of Operation Fora de Jogo (Operation Offside), which saw almost 300 tax and police inspectors from the public prosecutor’s office conduct 76 searches.
Among those searched were some of the country's biggest clubs, including Porto, Benfica, Sporting, Braga, Guimaraes, Marítimo, Estoril and Portimonense.
In addition, two of Mendes' homes were searched by authorities while Carlos Osrio de Castro, Cristiano Ronaldo’s lawyer, and Gestifute, the Juventus forward’s representative that was originally established by Mendes, were also searched.
