The Tribunal dos Conflitos unanimously ruled that the criminal instruction judge holds jurisdiction over the preliminary inquiry following the detention of a customs evasion suspect. The Public Prosecutor challenged the authority of the customs delegation, arguing for their competence, while the defense and the court emphasized the procedural necessity of judicial oversight upon arrest. The court affirmed that once a suspect is detained and heard by a judge, the criminal instruction judge must conduct the preparatory phase, thereby resolving the jurisdictional conflict in favor of the judicial authority.
