The businessman who ran over a member of the Rolex gang was convicted of swindling a doctor. The driver kept 1.2 million euros from Fernando Póvoas, with the sentence being suspended.

The businessman was involved in the death of a member of the Rolex gang, which operated with stolen luxury watches. The case raised questions about the legality of his actions.

The swindle of doctor Fernando Póvoas involved a significant amount of money. The suspension of the sentence means the businessman will not have to serve actual prison time, provided he meets certain conditions.
