AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice rejected the criminal appeal on the grounds that it lacked sufficient motivation or was manifestly inadmissible. The appellant argued for the unconstitutionality of Article 433 of the 1987 Criminal Procedure Code, but this claim had already been negatively settled by numerous precedents from the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court. Consequently, the court applied established jurisprudence to dismiss the appeal, affirming that rejection is mandatory when a criminal appeal fails to provide adequate reasoning.
