A scandal over a paedophile ring run
from a state orphanage gripped Portugal yesterday as it threatened to
engulf diplomats, media personalities and senior politicians.
Photographs of unnamed senior government officials with young boys from
Lisbon's Casa Pia orphanage were among the evidence reportedly available
to police after they arrested a former orphanage employee called Carlos
Silvino.
A number of former residents, and the mother of one boy who is still
there, have denounced sexual attacks on children at what is known as
Lisbon's most famous orphanage.
