Recently, the "Sporting" team, which has been involved in scandal after scandal, once again found itself in the center of media attention - it is reported that the club has spent a huge amount of money to create a more positive image of this team on the internet.
The Correio de Manha reports that "Sporting" spent almost half a million euros per year on a company to create fake user profiles and blogs on social networks that would not only praise the team's actions, but also attack their critics.
Furthermore, the team's president Bruno de Carvalho used this system in the war against another Lisbon team - "Benfica". He spread false information or unfavorable rumors about competitors through this system. It is said that the relevant institutions were warned about these actions, which will determine whether such activities violated the laws and whether the team and its owner will have to appear in court for it.
