The Tribunal da Relação of Lisbon dismissed the appeal regarding the jurisdiction over a case involving the use of public transport without a ticket. The court found that the available evidence did not sufficiently indicate criminal intent (dolo), limiting the offense to a contravention. Consequently, the court ruled that the Tribunal de Polícia, not the criminal court, is the competent authority to adjudicate this matter.

SUMÁRIO

I - Não resultando do auto de notícia elementos de prova que indiciem suficientemente o dolo, a utilização de transporte público sem título integra apenas matéria contravencional.

II - É, assim, competente para dele conhecer, em sede de julgamento, o Tribunal de Polícia.
