Google translated from Portuguese

Mário Machado’s testimony at the trial of the 89 defendants of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang, who are responsible for serious crimes such as attempted murder, damage or possession of illegal weapons, is scheduled for Tuesday. The former ‘skinhead’ leader is one of three assistants in the process, demanding €127,000 in damages.

According to the indictment, some of the defendants invaded a ‘take-away’ in Prior Velho, Loures, in March 2018, to assault Mário Machado. Paulo Rodrigues, owner of the establishment and another of the assistants, explained in court on Friday that only the door of a storeroom saved him, and Mário Machado and four other people, from the gang’s violence. The PSP guarantees security during Machado’s deposition.
