Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice annulled the final judgment due to a procedural defect regarding the recording of fact alterations. Although the collective tribunal declared a substantial change of facts occurred and absolved the accused, the court record lacked evidence that the statutory requirements for such a declaration were formally met. Consequently, the court ruled the judgment void under the Criminal Procedure Code, preventing it from taking legal effect.

SUMÁRIO

Se, por um lado, no acórdão final, o Tribunal Colectivo decide que se produziu uma alteração substancial dos factos e, em consequência, não conhece do mérito da acção penal e absolve os arguidos da instância, e se, por outro, da acta da audiência, não consta que tenha sido dado cumprimento ao disposto no art. 359, nºs 1 e 2, do C.P.P., então, aquele acórdão está ferido de nulidade (cit. art. 359, n. 1, e 379, n.1, b), do mesmo código).
