Luís Miguel Militão, the “Monster of Fortaleza”, says the six Portuguese businessmen were killed “out of fear”
Luís Miguel Militão confessed exclusively to TVI and CNN Portugal that gave the order to kill the six Portuguese businessmen in Fortaleza on August 12, 2001.
“I was wrong at all times, but I was wrong when I said ‘if we did not do what we agreed, tomorrow we are all arrested.’ This was an indirect order, but it was,” assumed the planning of the crime in an exclusive interview with Eian Matte, a special service journalist for TVI/CNN Portugal. “Our stupidity told us that if there were no those people, there was no complaint, and then no one would know anything.”
Militão, who received the nickname of “Monster of Fortaleza”, says, however, that he did not attract men to Brazil in order to kill them.
“I invited only one person, informally, so that I could come on vacation enjoy the beauties of the Brazilian Northeast. I had left a week from Portugal when one of the Portuguese called me, or I called him and, in an informal and quiet conversation, I said I was with some girls here in Brazil and that if one day he wanted to come, he came. This is one of the things used by the press, which I attract this group with the intention of sex tourism, with the intention of committing a crime, ”he said in the first part of this exclusive interview with CNN Portugal.
Luís Miguel Militão was close to one of the Portuguese, António Rodrigues, a friendship that has been troubled since troubled in Portugal.
“This person turned on by saying that he would actually come, and would bring two friends. One had a greater affinity, was a divorced person, and when I divorced in Portugal, I was depressed, drinking, and found in this person a friendly shoulder. invite me to lunch, to dinner, to live with one of these people. ”
From three early went to six. And this is where the accomplices that Militão refuses to appoint. “They are also human beings who regretted.”
“And one of them told me, ‘And if we hurt these people?’ When they induced me to commit the crime, I said ‘man, I don’t have the courage to kill anyone.’ And they told me ‘ah, I have’.
“Everyone was kidnapped, including me, as a way to think I was not involved in the crime, so that it facilitated the supply of credit card passwords. With this supply, I left the tent and did not participate, I did not see, I do not know how it was except for the press (…) physically, I did not kill anyone,” Militão added.
“We were drunk. Without drinking we wouldn’t have that courage. And then they asked, ‘Let’s really do what was agreed?’. What was combined was death. Not death for cruelty, but death for fear. People were afraid of being discovered and being trapped.”
