The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the mandatory appeal filed by the National Treasury against a sentence issued by a fiscal auditor. The auditor had absolved the defendant, Fernando Santos, from the maximum fine and license suspension for attempted customs evasion. The court ruled that such sentences do not fall under the scope of mandatory appeals, thereby upholding the lower instance's decision.
