Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice upheld the arrest of a defendant based on the risk of losing security. The court found that the law requires only a probability of asset loss, not absolute certainty or proof that the loss has already occurred. Consequently, the court ruled that the procedural requirement for arrest was met by the demonstrated likelihood of financial harm.

SUMÁRIO

Relativamente ao receio de perda de garantia, a lei não exige uma certeza, bastando uma probabilidade, não sendo também necessário demonstrar que a perda do património se torna efectiva com a demora.
