The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed Fernando Santos's appeal against a disciplinary penalty imposed by the Ministry of National Defence. Santos argued for a review of the penalty's gravity and alleged a deviation of power, but the court found no such allegations or procedural violations under the relevant administrative codes. Consequently, the court ruled that its jurisdiction was strictly limited to verifying the legal qualification of the proven facts, excluding any substantive assessment of the punishment's severity.
