In the final indictments made last week at Lisbon’s Central Criminal Court, the Ministry of Public Opinion (MP) asked for the conviction of former Marines Claudio Coimbra and Vadim Grinko for the skilled murder of PSP agent Fabio Guerra, stressing that the former would be punished with at least 20 years’ imprisonment. freedom and stressing that “the facts are very serious.”
PSP agent Fabio Guerra, 26, died on March 21, 2022 at the San José hospital in Lisbon due to “serious head injuries” sustained from attacks that targeted him outside the Mome nightclub in Alcantara when he stepped out out of service.
In September, the MP charged former Marines Claudio Coimbra and Vadim Grinko with aggravated murder, three offenses of qualified bodily harm and one felony of simple bodily harm in a case that ended in the death of Fabio Guerra.
