Fernando Madureira, head of the Super Dragons, and ten other people were arrested this Wednesday as part of the PSP mega-operation in the Greater Porto area, targeting several members of the FC Porto fan base.

Among those detained are the wife of Fernando Madureira and Vitor Catan, a former sports director and member of the Super Dragües team.

We are talking about two processes related to attacks on the General Assembly (AG) of FC Porto and threats against the club’s presidential candidate André Villas-Boas.

ABOUT CM You know that Fernando Madureira, also known as “Macaco”, was notified to appear in court to testify in the case, but failed to appear, leading to his arrest.

PSP continues to carry out several searches in the homes of Porto fans. Members of the Super Dragoins are charged with offenses of causing bodily harm, criminal damage, coercion and threats.

For what CM It became known that the authorities expected that members of the support group would have plans for new attacks during the presidential election campaign.

Contempt in AG

It is worth recalling that on November 13, 2023, members of FC Porto began to show disrespect during the General Assembly of the club. Several videos were published on social networks showing moments of the riots.

One fan was even attacked after a five-minute speech in which he criticized the club’s buildings and proposed changes to the charter. The intervention did not please some of those present, who began to protest in the hall.

The situation caused controversy and made Pinto da Costa, the Dragons’ president, the target of various criticisms.

A petition was created to remove Fernando Madureira from his position as head of Super Dragões, which was eventually cancelled. Until it was removed, it had more than 12 thousand signatures.
