This Sunday, the President of the Republic lamented the death of businessman Rui Nabeiro, and in message on the Presidency’s website “offers the most heartfelt condolences to the family.” Marcelo speaks of “an example and an inspiration for all those who can give back to society a little of what it has given them”.

“Yesterday, at the end of the afternoon, the President of the Republic had the opportunity to visit him in the hospital”, recalls Marcelo.

Businessman Rui Nabeiro, founder of Grupo Nabeiro – Delta Cafés, died this Sunday at the age of 91, a victim of illness, at Hospital da Luz, in Lisbon, a source for the group told Lusa.

“It is with deep regret that the Nabeiro family informs that, today, March 19, Commander Manuel Rui Azinhais Nabeiro, president and founder of the Nabeiro Group — Delta Cafés”, can be read in a statement sent by the group.

Commander Rui Nabeiro “was hospitalized at Hospital da Luz, due to respiratory problems”, added the same source, referring that “the date and program of the funeral will be communicated in due course”.
