[Nº CONVENCIONAL] JSTJ00001463 [Nº DO DOCUMENTO] SJ199002210405643 [PRIVACIDADE] 1 [PROCESSO NO TRIBUNAL RECURSO] 7621/88 [TEXTO INTEGRAL] N [TRIBUNAL RECURSO] T REL PORTO [URL] https://www.dgsi.pt/jstj.nsf/954f0ce6ad9dd8b980256b5f003fa814/1DF48FD44D99FC40802568FC003945BB?OpenDocument

SUMÁRIO I - O Supremo Tribunal de Justiça conhece apenas de materia de direito (artigos 666 do Codigo de Processo Penal e

29 da Lei n. 38/87, de 23.12).

II - A admitir-se que o ilegal desentranhamento do auto de noticia e do relatorio, constitui a nulidade do artigo 98, n. 1 do Codigo de Processo Penal, ela estara sanada se o Tribunal da Relação tiver considerado que tal irregularidade não afectou a justa decisão da causa (artigo 99 paragrafo 3 do Codigo de Processo Penal).
