Three years after the accident that ended the life of Sara Carreira, Cristina Branco decided to break her silence and was sentenced to a year and four months of probation. “I am deeply sorry for the life lost and the suffering this death has caused. This fact has caused me distress and anxiety that I have never felt before,” he wrote in a statement posted on Instagram.
As for the verdict, the 51-year-old fado singer, who was charged with manslaughter, said she would appeal. “In the early evening of December 5, 2020, I was driving within the speed limit and in the far right lane. I drove in strict accordance with what was required of me. “I respect the court’s decision, but despite the sensitivity and fairness, as the court showed by highlighting my case among other defendants, in terms of the verdict and the considerations expressed, I cannot agree with the verdict and am considering the possibility of filing an appeal,” he said.
