During the first two weeks of 2022, the two caused public alarm in the Verde city park in Coimbra. At the beginning of the night, they robbed women and forced them to have sexual intercourse. In some cases they were filmed and photographed. Both are serving prison sentences of twelve and eight and a half years.

The STJ only overturned the deportation sentence for the oldest defendant to appeal.
