The Guimarães Court sentenced 10 of the 12 defendants to effective prison terms ranging from five years and three months to eight years on Thursday, May 28, for violent assaults against two nurses and a security guard at Famalicão Hospital. In the reading of the verdict, the panel of judges stated that the Public Prosecutor's charges were essentially proven, concluding that the defendants acted as a group and assaulted the three victims working at the hospital unit with 'extreme violence' at different times. According to the court, the defendants had previously agreed to go to the Médio Ave Local Health Unit (Vila Nova de Famalicão) so that the daughter of one of them would be attended to immediately without going through triage, thereby violating basic medical triage rules. For the panel of judges, all defendants—who were involved in the altercation that occurred in the early hours of February 22, 2022—'fulfilled this objective,' having previously assigned tasks for each to perform upon arrival at the hospital unit. A nurse and three firefighters were also assaulted at Santa Maria Hospital.
