The Minister of Internal Administration, Eduardo Cabrita
The PSD believes that the Minister of Internal Administration, Eduardo Cabrita, “lied to Parliament” about the case of the death of the Ukrainian citizen Ihor Homeniuk at the Lisbon airport.
According to the Diário de Notícias, this is a contradiction in dates, 17 days apart.
At the beginning of April, the Minister of the Interior, Eduardo Cabrita, was heard in Parliament and assured the deputies that the Aliens and Borders Service (SEF) had an investigation into the death of the Ukrainian citizen on March 13 – the day after the murder.
However, according to DN, this date does not coincide with the information of the General Inspection of Internal Administration (IGAI), which indicates that the internal process was opened to March 30th – that is, 17 days later.
At the time the lawsuit was opened, according to IGAI, the Judicial Police (PJ) had detained the three SEF inspectors suspected of torturing and murdering the Ukrainian citizen Ihor Homeniuk at the Lisbon airport.
The Social Democratic deputy Duarte Marques He accuses Cabrita of having lied, which he describes as a “serious” action. Said the deputy, in statements to the DN, that if the minister was misinformed, this had no consequences and that there should be who gave you the wrong information.
The member of the blockade Beatriz Gomes Dias It requires explanations to the Government since there is a discrepancy in the dates that must be clarified.
The deputy reminded the DN that “the minister even used pretty strong expressions to condemn what happened, stating that what had happened would be “between gross negligence and the most serious cover-up ”, which led us to imply that he would already know something, through the process that the SEF would have instituted”.
The three SEF inspectors – Bruno Sousa, Duarte Laja and Luís Silva – accused of the qualified homicide of Ihor Homenyuk are in house arrest since your arrest, March 30th.
The MP considered that “he was sufficiently accused” that, in March of this year, a Ukrainian citizen was transferred to the Fair Establishment room at an Installation Center, at Lisbon Airport, to await the departure of a flight to Istanbul, having refused to do so.
In view of the commotion it presented, Ihor Homenyuk ended up being isolated from the rest of the foreign passengers, where he remained until the next day. having been “tied legs and arms ”, but ended up“ simply immobilized at the ankles ”.
The accused inspectors went to the room where the citizen was, handcuffed his hands behind his back, bandaged his elbows with bandages and gave him an unknown number of punches and kicks to the body.
Hours later, and after the victim does not react, finally the INEM was activated and an emergency medical vehicle, with the crew’s duty physician monitoring the death of the Ukrainian citizen.
According to the MP, the attacks by the SEF inspectors, who acted in concert of efforts and intentions, provoked Ihor Homenyuk ”.various traumatic injuries what were direct cause ”of his death.
After the death of Ihor Homenyuk, the Minister of Internal Administration ordered the initiation of a disciplinary procedure against the director and deputy director of Lisbon Borders, the EECIT Coordinator of the airport and the three SEF inspectors, meanwhile accused by the Ministry Public, as well as the opening of a query to the General Inspectorate of Internal Administration (IGAI).
Following this investigation, the IGAI initiated eight disciplinary proceedings against members of the SEF and implicated 12 inspectors from this security service in the death of the Ukrainian.
The case of Ihor Homenyuk’s death led to the resignation of the director and deputy director of Borders of the Lisbon airport by the director of SEF, Cristina Gatões.
