Judge Sílvia Pires eliminated all the facts considered insubstantial from the facts of the prosecution in the case of the invasion of the Academia do Sporting.
One of the main conclusions drawn from the order, to which the Expresso had access, is that the accusations to which the former president of Sporting, Bruno de Carvalho, had been attacked fall, something that had already been implicit during the phase of evidence that was held at the Monsanto court in Lisbon, just before the pandemic. The deputy had already asked for his acquittal.
Also the youth leader Leonina, Nuno ‘Mustafá’ Mendes, and the former sports liaison officer with fans, Bruno Jacinto, are now closer to acquittal.
This order of the judge indicates that these facts will be proven in the sentence. In other words, there are 37 defendants who will be convicted of planning and executing the invasion and battery against Sporting players and coaches. And both Bruno de Carvalho, Nuno ‘Mustafá’ Mendes and Bruno Jacinto were removed from the equation by the judge.
Theoretically, the order does not completely excuse the former president of Sporting, but at no point in the document does the judge refer to his moral authorship in the violence in Alcochete.
“The removal of the accusation from all the evidence contained in it (WhatsApp group conversations, apprehension records, examination records, BTS of the antennas that cover the geographical area of Lidl do Montijo and the academy) necessarily implies translation objective, as well as attentive to the evidence produced in the hearing of the trial and that of the case file, resulted in the conduct of some of the accused, several of whom even emerged from their own statements in the trial “, it can be read at the beginning of the document.
“On the other hand, the way in which the accusation is written with some repeated and superimposed subject, mixing objective facts and the subjective element of the different types of crimes, also requires that they be ordered chronologically.”
The shipment begins with the controversial publication of Bruno de Carvalho, shortly after Sporting’s match against Atlético de Madrid. In it, the ex-Leon president criticized the attitude of some of the players in Madrid, something that would provoke a revolt in the locker room against the then-top manager of Sporting.
However, despite the fact that Bruno de Carvalho’s meeting with the cheerleaders at the Leonina Youth headquarters on April 7, 2018 was not mentioned, the judge does not say anything about the moral authorship of the attack on the training center of Alcochete on April 15. May 2018.
“At this meeting, those present discussed the social media posts made by defendant Bruno de Carvalho, criticizing the club president’s stance of publicly criticizing the players, as well as criticizing the results of the professional football team and the lack of player engagement, discussing ways to support the team, such as songs, strips and / or a visit to the academy At the end of the meeting, defendant Bruno de Carvalho said “Do what you want and then say”.
The judge is clear. The invasion was prepared by 37 accused, “all supporters of the SCP, [que] they woke up among themselves and decided to invade the Sporting Clube de Portugal Academy, in Alcochete, on 05/15/2018, in the afternoon, to approach the players and the coach of the SCP professional soccer team during training and there they intimidated them , with words and deeds, and they attack, thus punishing them for their attitude and the lack of fulfillment of the objectives of the time. “
The document also establishes that “the accused, under the auspices of a plan previously agreed upon by all, in common efforts and intentions, burst through the main door of the Academia do Sporting.”
The attacks and their protagonists.
Sílvia Pires lists some of the main episodes of violence within the Academy, already with the names of some of the suspects, some of whom confessed to the crimes of which they were accused. “Defendant Ruben Marques, entering the locker room, in the hallway near the ‘boot room’, saw the player Bas Dost and hit him with the belt in his hand (more specifically with the belt buckle), reaching him on the head and causing an incised and forceful wound in the frontal region, with bleeding from that area of the body, as a result of which he fell to the ground. Already prostrate on the ground, the player Bas Dost was the target of an undetermined number of kicks in various parts of the body, given by the accused Rúben Marques and another of the accused “.
Another episode involving player William de Carvalho also mentions the name of one of the accused. “The player William de Carvalho was approached by at least three accused who surrounded him, one of whom was accused Miguel Ferrão, who grabbed his arm and twisted him on the back, and the others threw blows to his chest and back, back, causing him pain, at the same time saying “you are not worthy to wear the sweater”, “take off your sweater”, “you want to go, motherfucker, we broke your whole mouth”.
In the assaults on goalkeeper Rui Patrício, it was not possible to identify the assailants who acted blindly. “Rui Patricio was approached, grabbed and pushed by at least four defendants, who also hit him in the chest and one of them grabbed his arm trying to twist him, causing him pain, at the same time saying” son of a bitch “,” you you want to go, I break your whole mouth. “
In the accusation formulated by the prosecutor Cândida Vilar, of November 2018, it was stated that “Bruno Jacinto, Bruno de Carvalho and Nuno Mendes knew the plan outlined by the remaining 41 accused and determined them to practice threatening crimes, offending their integrity physical and kidnapping. ” The congressman later wrote that these three defendants “did nothing to prevent the practice of such violent acts … all the more, since during the meetings in which they were present they successively criticized the players, improving a climate of violence” .
