Avelino Teixeira

Avelino Teixeira, 65, is a security guard who recently made headlines due to his violent assault in November 2023 while protecting the home of André Villas-Boas, the president of FC Porto. During the incident, he was forcibly removed from his vehicle by a group of assailants who subsequently beat him and stole his car and personal documents. Teixeira has little recollection of the event, only remembering waking up in the hospital next to his wife. His case has drawn attention as it reveals a broader issue of car theft and violence in the Porto area, leading to multiple charges against the alleged attackers.
