The Portuguese businessman who fatally ran over a member of the Rolex gang was convicted for having defrauded doctor Fernando Póvoas out of 1.2 million euros. The man kept this amount belonging to the clinician and was convicted for this crime.
The trial took place and the sentence applied to the businessman was suspended, meaning he will not have to serve the sentence in prison. This decision comes following the proceedings related to the fraud against doctor Fernando Póvoas.
The same businessman became known for intentionally running over a thief belonging to the Rolex gang, which dedicated itself to robbing people on public streets, especially to steal luxury watches. The collision resulted in the death of the gang member.
This double involvement in court cases - both for the fatal collision and for defrauding the doctor - made the businessman a media figure in Portugal, with the news combining both cases in a single headline that highlights both convictions.
