Madureira tried to spare Pinto da Costa humiliation at AGM in November | OneFootball

Fernando Madureira and his wife, Sandra, have filed an appeal against the sentences imposed in the context of Operation Pretoriano and deny that there was a plan to intimidate FC Porto members at the General Assembly on November 13, 2023.

According to Jornal de Notícias, the former leader of the Super Dragões argues, in the appeal submitted to the Court of Appeal, that his intention was “not to allow any public humiliation of the President of the Board and nothing more than that,” referring to Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa.

“There is no concrete evidence that everyone had previously decided to commit bodily offenses,” the couple’s lawyers argue in the appeal. “There is no prior identification of victims, no distribution of tasks or roles regarding the crimes committed,” the document adds, according to the same source.

It should be recalled that Macaco was sentenced to three years and nine months in prison, while Sandra Madureira received a sentence of two years and eight months.
