The death has been attributed to a “heat stroke”, but the prosecutor following the trial, which began more than two years ago at the Central Criminal Court of Lisbon, will now want to prove the thesis that Hugo Abreu, 20, He died when he was allegedly forced by an instructor to eat dirt.
The news advanced by SIC was confirmed by JN from a source close to the process. The decision on whether to carry out the investigation now rests with the court. The trial is in its final stage. In total, 19 soldiers are being processed, to whom the MP charges a total of 539 crimes of abuse of authority for violating physical integrity, to several recruits. The death of Hugo Abreu, born in Ribeira Brava, on the island of Madeira, was declared on September 4, 2016, at the Alcochete Firing Range, where the “zero-proof” of the 127th Command course was taking place. Dylan de Silva, 20, born in Ponte de Lima, died six days later in hospital, while waiting for a liver transplant.
