Clóvis Abreu Sentenced for the Murder of Officer Fábio Guerra

Clóvis Abreu, the last defendant tried for the murder of police officer Fábio Guerra outside the Mome nightclub in Lisbon, has been sentenced to 14 years in prison. He is also required to pay over €180,000 in damages to the officer's family following the brutal attack that led to Guerra's death in 2022, as reported by SIC Notícias.

On March 19, 2022, after a violent altercation with a nightclub patron, Abreu and his accomplices assaulted several police officers who were off-duty and present at the scene. Despite the officers' efforts to intervene, four were incapacitated in a matter of minutes. Fábio Guerra, aged 26, was severely beaten and succumbed to his injuries two days later due to a severe intracranial hemorrhage.

Authorities revealed that the trio had a specific method of attack: one would knock the victim down, and the others would then kick them in vital areas, demonstrating their military and athletic training that allowed them to deliver devastating blows.

Security footage from the nightclub was crucial in establishing the events of that night. Following the footage's presentation in court, co-defendants Vadym Hrynko and Cláudio Coimbra admitted to some of their assaults and were previously sentenced to 17 and 20 years in prison, respectively.

After evading capture for about a year and a half, Clóvis Abreu surrendered to authorities in September 2023. In addition to compensating Guerra's family, he was ordered to pay €24,000 to the Hospital de São José, where Guerra was treated. Abreu's lawyer, Aníbal Pinto, announced intentions to appeal the ruling.

Ricardo Serrano Vieira, representing Guerra's family, expressed satisfaction with the murder conviction but noted they would review the 14-year sentence, which also accounts for other victims of the assaults that night, classified as attempted murder by the court.
