Luís Pina, a Benfica supporter and member of the 'No Name Boys', turned himself in on Thursday, October 16, at the Sintra prison to serve a four-year prison sentence to which he was sentenced for the crime of gross negligent homicide in 2017.
The case involves the death of Marco Ficini, aged 41, who belonged to the fan group of the Italian club Fiorentina 'O Club Settebello' and was a supporter of the Alvalade Club - a victim of a hit-and-run near Estádio da Luz, hours before a derby between Sporting and Benfica.
During the clashes and chases between Sporting and Benfica supporters, Luís Pina fatally ran over Marco Ficini, "dragging the body for 15 meters", stopping the car only "after having completely run over the victim's body" multiple times. Furthermore, he left the scene "without providing any assistance," as stated in the judicial decision.
Luís Pina was convicted of the crime of gross negligent homicide and was required to serve a four-year prison sentence. This surrender marks the beginning of the sentence's execution, after several years of legal proceedings that examined the defendant's conduct and the circumstances of the accident.
