The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa confirmed the lower court's decision regarding the prescription period for state-owned goods. The court held that the 1926 Decree-Law does not apply to objects seized with precaution by the accused. Consequently, the standard prescription periods must run from the date of seizure rather than the date of the initial act.

SUMÁRIO

O Decreto-Lei n. 12487, de 14 de Outubro de 1926, não é aplicável aos objectos "retirados ao arguido por precaução", pelo que a sua prescrição a favor do Estado só se pode verificar após o decurso dos prazos normais da mesma.
