Vítor Baía and Rui Cerqueira were sentenced this Tuesday to compensate Frederico Varandas, in connection with the case involving the garage at the Estádio do Dragão, following a Clássico between FC Porto and Sporting, played in February 2022.
The former Porto official will have to pay 3,500 euros to the Sporting president, while the former adviser was ordered to pay 2,500 euros.
Vítor Baía was also fined 1,200 euros for committing an insult offense, with the Porto District Criminal Court stressing that he admitted the facts without showing remorse.
Rui Cerqueira was likewise fined the same amount, but for the specific offense of assault in the context of a sporting event. The court had no doubt that Rui Cerqueira slapped the Sporting president’s hand, causing the mobile phone and earphones he was carrying to fall.
In addition, Rui Cerqueira was also given the additional sanction of being banned from access to sports venues during matches for one year.
