The Judiciary Police have arrested another suspect in the attack on the car carrying FC Porto supporters. The detainee is 25 years old, according to information obtained by CM. The case dates back to June 10, after a hockey game between the two teams.

The arrest took place when the suspect was returning to the country, according to Lusa, making him the seventh supporter detained as part of this ongoing investigation.

This Tuesday, the Judiciary Police announced in a statement the arrest of three Sporting supporters and explained that these suspects are part of a group, aged between 20 and 30, who, "apart from supporting a sports club, have engaged in extremely violent physical behavior against members of rival club supporter groups," the statement reads.

The investigation involves suspicions of attempted aggravated homicide, aggravated assault, arson, robbery, possession of prohibited weapons, and possession and use of pyrotechnic devices.

The incident under investigation occurred on June 10, when this group, at the end of a roller hockey game between Sporting and Porto, "approached violently and aggressively a smaller group of supporters from the rival club’s fan group, who were in a car temporarily stopped at a traffic light in the Lumiar area."

In addition to the assaults, the five people in the car suffered burns and had to be taken to the hospital.

On the day of the attack, the PSP identified and arrested three men, aged between 20 and 25, suspected of the same crimes and who were placed in pre-trial detention.
