A 19-year-old Irishman detained by PJ for stabbing four Dutch tourists during a brawl in Albufeira early on Monday has been released.
According to CM It was determined that, despite his residence in Ireland, he would await trial under an Identity and Residence Agreement.
The fight involved three Irishmen and nine tourists from the Netherlands.
The attacks followed a row over the noise of a party at a tourist apartment near Oura Beach. Insults quickly turned physical and, without waiting, someone went to get three knives from one of the houses.
Four of the victims suffered blows and injuries that put their lives at risk, and one of them remains hospitalized in Faro Hospital with a poor prognosis. The young people involved are aged between 17 and 21, and everything happened inside the apartment complex where both groups lived.
The investigation was referred to the Judicial Police, which, just over 24 hours later, led to the arrest of a 19-year-old Irish citizen on the basis of strong evidence of the crime of attempted murder.
He was also injured in the attacks and was hospitalized.
According to CM As it turns out, he was presented to the Albufeira court this Wednesday, released and is due to travel to his country of origin in the next few days.
Although he resides in Ireland, he will await trial under the Identity and Residence Agreement.
