Luís Pina, a member of Benfica’s No Name Boys supporters’ group, who was sentenced to four years in prison for grossly negligent homicide of a rival fan in the early hours of April 22, 2017, in Lisbon, turned himself in this Thursday to serve his sentence.

The case concerns the death of Marco Ficini, 41 years old, who belonged to the Italian club Fiorentina supporters’ group ‘O Club Settebello’ and was a supporter of the Alvalade club — the victim of a hit-and-run near Estádio da Luz, hours before a derby between Sporting and Benfica.

During 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 passed completely over the victim’s body” several times. In addition, he left the scene “without providing any assistance,” according to the court’s decision.

Luís Pina was convicted of the crime of grossly negligent homicide and was ordered to serve a four-year prison sentence. This surrender marks the beginning of serving the sentence, after several years of legal proceedings that examined the defendant’s conduct and the circumstances of the accident.
