Bruno Pinto's defense requests acquittal at the Court of Appeal

Observador2 September 2026 at 18:25

Bruno Pinto's defense, the police officer convicted for the death of Odair Moniz, filed an appeal at the Court of Appeal against the Sintra Court's decision. The lawyers request the officer's acquittal and that the State be responsible for paying the due compensations.

The appeal aims to reverse the conviction decided by the first instance court in Sintra, contesting the police officer's guilt in the case. This process arises after a sentence that considered Bruno Pinto responsible for the death of Odair Moniz.
