Lisbon: Three Portuguese immigration officers were sentenced on Monday to prison for killing a Ukrainian man detained at Lisbon airport after he tried to enter the country without a valid visa last year. "Ihor Homeniuk’s death was a direct consequence of the behaviour of the defendants whose duty was to act otherwise," Judge Rui Coelho said as he read out the verdict, the Lusa news agency reported.
