Fernando Madureira voluntarily reported to a prison to serve the remaining part of the effective prison sentence imposed on him in connection with Operation Pretoriano, CNN Portugal reports.
The former leader of the Super Dragões supporters’ group decided not to pursue the appeal filed with the Constitutional Court, considering that the case had reached its end and that there were no further steps to take to challenge a decision he had always described as disproportionate and unequal compared with sentences handed down in similar cases.
Fernando Madureira was sentenced to three years and four months in prison and has already spent two years in pre-trial detention. He will therefore now have to serve another year and four months. Although he resumed his professional life after his release, he chose to surrender voluntarily to the authorities to serve his sentence and close this chapter.
