Charges against brutal policeman

Public prosecutor in Portugal has brought charges against a policeman who viciously beat Jose Magalhaes in front of his family. Benfica supporter Magalhaes along with his sons, aged 9 and 13, and his father in 2015 were present at the decisive game against Vitoria Guimaraes. As this match brought Benfica championship title, they were allowed to leave the stadium as they were crushed by jubilant fans. The brutal incident occurred outside the stadium when the fan was beaten, in front of his youngest son who was screaming at the officers while his father has been pushed away. Immediately after it was released and on social media the dramatic video has been sparked outrage across Portugal.
Now charged with assault the policeman, who lied in the statement report, could be fined or face more than 10 years in prison.
