"As described, this agent was seated in the stand reserved for supporters of the visiting club (Braga), where she watched the match, and waited for Mrs. Mónica Jorge to leave the box for this approach, which was witnessed and confirmed at the time of the report by Ms. Carla Abilheira, the person responsible for coordinating Estádio Amélia Morais", the document attached to the proceedings opened by the Disciplinary Board states.

"The aforementioned agent, Ms. Daniela Lopes, already has a history of threats, including written messages sent by mobile phone and in-person confrontations on previous occasions, namely at Estádio da Luz.", the same document states.
