4 deaths at sea for 150 euros: Public Ministry points to "gross negligence" by skipper of the "Lingrinhas"

Notícias de Coimbra11 September 2026 at 09:27

The Public Ministry considered this Thursday, September 10, that the skipper known as "Lingrinhas" acted with "gross negligence" in an accident at sea that resulted in the death of four people. The prosecution requested a minimum sentence of two and a half years in prison for the defendant.

The case involves a boat called "Lingrinhas" and, according to the case title, the deaths were related to an amount of 150 euros. The Public Ministry argued that the skipper was negligent in piloting the vessel, directly contributing to the shipwreck.

The skipper's defense has not yet responded to the arguments presented by the Public Ministry. The trial continues, with both parties presenting their positions on the defendant's responsibility.

The accident occurred when the boat, as it appears, did not meet the necessary safety conditions for the voyage it undertook. The Public Ministry emphasized that the skipper's negligence was decisive for the tragedy that resulted in four deaths.
