Carlos Nunes, a member of the Super Dragões known by the nickname “Jamaica,” was found dead at his home on a Saturday afternoon, according to reports from Correio da Manhã. According to a police source cited by the publication, the death may have been caused by a domestic accident. The man had been unreachable for two days prior to the discovery.
Legal Background and Operation Pretoriano
The death follows high-profile legal proceedings involving members of the supporter group. In July 2025, Carlos Nunes was handed a suspended prison sentence of two years and 10 months, alongside a one-and-a-half-year ban from attending sports venues. That sentence stemmed from Operation Pretoriano, an investigation launched after disturbances and violence broke out during an FC Porto General Assembly on November 13, 2023.
During the same legal proceedings, Fernando Madureira—known as “Macaco” and the former leader of the Super Dragões—received an effective prison sentence of three years and nine months. The Public Ministry prosecuted the defendants on multiple charges, including coercion, aggravated threats, bodily harm, public incitement to crime, throwing objects or liquids, and attacks on the freedom of information.
