The Évora Court of Appeal (TRE) ordered the reinstatement of the four GNR soldiers who had been convicted of having invaded the houses of four Indian immigrants, who had kidnapped and assaulted them. The Beja Judicial Court had decided to prohibit the exercise of functions by the military for two to two and a half years, but the second instance partially granted the appeal for amparo and reversed the decision because the sentences did not exceed three years, reports the Jornal de Notícias (content for subscribers).

The GNR military personnel, aged between 24 and 30 years, were sentenced to conditional prison terms (between three and a half and five years, in law), the payment of compensation and the prohibition of the exercise of functions by part of four crimes for crimes against physical integrity, two of violation of the home and two of kidnapping, committed in September 2018, against four immigrants who worked in the greenhouses of Vila Nova de Mil Fontes and who had denounced, along with other colleagues , that the boss owed them money.

The four men appealed Beja’s decision, which was confirmed by Évora. The Relação de Évora, however, revoked the prohibition of functions, as a result of the opinion issued by the Public Ministry, which requested the lifting of the decision to remove the defendants from the GNR, “due to the fact that none of the convictions partial exceeded three years ”. cites the Jornal de Notícias.

This decision was taken in November and three of the four soldiers have returned to service, the GNR General Command confirmed to Jornal de Notícias, adding that “one will return soon.”
