Prosecutors in Bolhão’s court want Fernando Madureira to be found guilty of attacking Benfica fans before a hockey match in 2018. The prosecutor demands the conviction of all defendants and does not demand fines. He wants Macaco, since he already has a criminal record, to be given an effective punishment.
Gonçalo Cerejeira Namora, the lawyer of the former Super Dragões fan, asked for Fernando Madureira to be acquitted and added that no evidence had been presented that Macaco was involved in any preparation or execution activities. The lawyer also sharply criticized the head of the PSP, Anibal Damas, who testified at the trial.
“Chief Damas’ testimony was framed for the sole purpose of harming Fernando Madureira. They have never been clearly recognized by anyone,” said Gonçalo Serejeira Namora.
The defense also stated that the figure referred to in the images as “Monkey” (with his face covered) was never seen throwing rocks or anything else.
Francisco Duarte, the lawyer for four defendants, including Polaco, also asked for the latter’s acquittal. It says Hugo Carneiro was also jailed in the Praetorian operation for a crime he did not commit. This lawyer also demands the acquittal of Manuel Barros and the imposition of fines on João Vasconcelos and Nuno Vieira (future).
The verdict was scheduled to be announced on May 23.
