The Supreme Court of Justice declared the preliminary inquiry within the jurisdiction of the Tribunal de Instrução Criminal and ordered preparatory instruction. The court determined that the inquiry falls under Article 7 of Decree-Law 78/87 and that Articles 1, 3, and 63 of Decree-Law 605/75 and the 1929 Criminal Procedure Code mandate preparatory proceedings. Consequently, the case was directed to the appropriate tribunal for further instruction based on these statutory provisions.
