Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court of Justice dismissed the criminal proceeding regarding indirect authorship of smuggling public property. The prosecution alleged moral authorship without identifying the material author, relying only on indirect evidence. The court ruled that punishing moral authorship is impossible without first identifying the material author, even if their identity is merely precariously determined.

SUMÁRIO

Não e possivel a punição a titulo de autoria moral sem que esteja identificado o autor material, ainda que se trate de uma precaria individualização, desde que suficiente para se concluir que o autor mediato dolosamente determinou o outro a pratica do facto.
