The Tribunal dos Conflitos declared the Criminal Section of the Supreme Court of Justice competent to hear the appeal against a decision by the Second Section of the Supreme Administrative Court. The Ministry of Public Prosecution argued that the Administrative Court retained jurisdiction over customs matters prior to the 1978 decree, while the opposing party contended for judicial supremacy in criminal customs offenses. The court resolved the jurisdictional conflict by determining that the Criminal Section of the Supreme Court was the proper authority for such appeals before the legislative change took effect.
