The three inspectors of the Foreigners and Borders Service (SEF), one of them from Braga, who are going to be tried for the death, in March 2020, of a Ukrainian immigrant who was in their custody at Lisbon airport, no they will admit to the crime of murder.
A source linked to the case told O MINHO that the challenge to the prosecution, which each of them will present days before the start of the trial, refutes the prosecution’s thesis that they had beaten Ihor Homeniuk, 40, to death.
Luís Silva, married and living on the outskirts of Braga, Bruno Sousa and Duarte Laja, who have been under house arrest since March 30, will be tried for qualified murder. Luís Silva, who is under house arrest in a house on the outskirts of Braga and Duarte Laja will also answer for the crime of possession of a prohibited weapon.
The inspector from Braga was caught up by the video cameras of the airport surveillance system that went to the room where the Ukrainian was with an extendable baton in his hand, which the Prosecutor considers proof that he was going to beat the immigrant.
Indemnity
A few days ago it was learned that the Ombudsman decided that the widow will receive immediate compensation of 712,950 euros, to which she will add a pension to her two children while they are studying. This amount includes 50 thousand euros for the father of the victim.
The Public Ministry (MP) concluded that it was the aggressions of the three inspectors that caused the death of the Ukrainian, married with two minor children in his country, who would have been in agony for ten hours, due to bruises, broken ribs and chest That prevented him from breathing, because of the truncheon and the boots.
The investigation by the Public Ministry and the Judicial Police heard about 40 witnesses, namely lifeguards and security guards at the airport who spoke with Ihor since March 10, when he landed at the Humberto Delgado airport and asked to enter Portugal to come to work in agriculture, until at the time of his death, at 6:40 p.m. on the 12th.
Screams of suffering
In fact, the testimonies of the security guards indicate that, during the 20 minutes that the SEF agents were in the room where Ihor was, the security guards heard cries of suffering from the Ukrainian.
One of them claimed that the inspectors came out sweating and that one of them said “it’s calm now”, while another scoffed: “Today I don’t even need to go to the gym.”
