The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa confirmed the lower court's decision regarding the application of Article 318 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The defense argued that this article improperly restricted rights guaranteed by Article 32 of the Constitution, while the prosecution contended it ensured perfect immediacy and adversarial proceedings. The court ruled that the article actually contributes to a more perfect co-determination of the final decision without infringing constitutional guarantees.
