W52. Decision on the trial of Adriano Quintanilha postponed

The Felgueiras Local Court postponed the decision regarding the trial of a PJ inspector and Adriano Quintanilha related to an alleged false code of conduct for W52-FC Porto. The defense requested that certain witnesses, including former cyclists and the sports director, not testify due to their status as co-defendants in another case. The judge halted the trial to obtain documentation confirming their co-defendant status. The prosecution alleges that Quintanilha and the inspector devised a false code to protect a businessman from doping allegations. A previous ruling ordered a retrial of the doping case, citing illegal evidence from a witness. Quintanilha and others were previously convicted in connection with the doping scheme.
