AI summary
FC Porto and Francisco J. Marques, the club's former communications director, have lost the vast majority of their appeals at the European Court of Human Rights. The cases stemmed from disciplinary action taken by the Portuguese Football Federation over Marques's public remarks about refereeing decisions spanning 2017 to 2019. The court's rejection of five of the six complaints effectively ends a protracted legal battle over the sanctions originally imposed by the FPF's disciplinary council.
