The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the jurisdictional appeal filed by Manuel Nunes and others against the Fiscal Audit of Lisbon. The court held that maritime crew members who secretly introduce foreign goods via a passenger commit customs evasion offenses, while the passenger submitting such items to review commits a specific transgression. This decision clarifies criminal liability for both the crew and the passenger under the Customs Contencious Law and Customs Regulations.
