Entrepreneur who ran over Rolex gang thief convicted for defrauding doctor

Record4 September 2026 at 09:17

The entrepreneur responsible for running over and killing a member of the Rolex gang was convicted of defrauding a doctor. The man kept 1.2 million euros belonging to Fernando Póvoas.

The sentence was suspended, meaning the entrepreneur will not serve actual prison time. The case raises questions about the impunity of those who commit economic crimes.

The running over of the Rolex gang member occurred under circumstances that have not yet been fully clarified. The death generated controversy at the time, with public debate over whether it was self-defense or another type of situation.

The entrepreneur had been in the news for the fatal running over, but ended up being convicted for the crime of defrauding the doctor, keeping a significant amount of money that did not belong to him.
