The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa declared the collective tribunal competent for the case, rejecting the argument that a singular tribunal should handle it. The court reasoned that jurisdiction is fixed by the abstract maximum penalty applicable to the crimes, which exceeds three years, and this threshold remains valid even if specific crimes are later declared amnestied. Consequently, the procedural requirement for a collective trial was upheld based on the statutory limits of the offenses involved.

SUMÁRIO

Fixada a competência do Tribunal Colectivo por se considerar que a pena máxima abstractamente aplicável a vários crimes é superior a três anos, ela mantêm-se ainda que, em consequência de se ter declarado amnistiado algum deles, seja inferior àquele limite a pena máxima aplicável aos restantes.
