The helicopter pilot who crashed into the Douro river two years ago is involved in a process that is still ongoing, without having yet reached court. The accident caused five deaths.

The pilot's lawyer requested that the trial be public, expressing his indignation with the way the case has progressed in court.

The lawyer criticized the slowness of the judicial process, considering that the delay is excessive and harmful to all parties involved.

Additionally, the lawyer questioned the competence of the magistrates conducting the trial, casting doubt on their ability to handle the case appropriately.
