The Tribunal dos Conflitos ruled that the Supreme Administrative Court lacks jurisdiction over all customs fiscal offenses following the enactment of Decree-Law 173-A/78. The Public Prosecutor sought judicial intervention, but the court determined that such crimes fall solely within the exclusive domain of administrative tribunals. Consequently, the request for judicial competence was rejected to maintain the statutory separation of powers regarding fiscal matters.
