Five defendants were acquitted of all crimes in the case regarding the death of 93 animals in a fire in Santo Tirso. The court's decision was unfavorable to the Public Prosecutor's Office, which had filed charges against the suspects.
The PAN leader, the party that acted as a civil party in the case, considered the decision unjust and announced she will appeal the sentence. The party's position reflects its tradition of defending animal rights.
The fire in question occurred in Santo Tirso and resulted in the death of 93 animals, which led to the opening of a court case to investigate criminal responsibilities.
