The Supreme Court of Justice confirmed the decision regarding a criminal appeal where the conclusions did not strictly follow Article 412(2) of the Criminal Procedure Code. The appellant argued the appeal lacked proper motivation due to this deviation, but the court found the citation of the violated legal provision sufficient. Consequently, the court ruled that the presence of the cited legal norm validates the appeal's motivation regardless of the conclusions' rigor.
