Court rules that a new crime committed after final conviction constitutes successive crimes, not cumulative punishment.

The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa dismissed the request for cumulative punishment, ruling instead that the defendant's subsequent offense constituted successive crimes requiring consecutive execution. The prosecution argued for cumulative penalties under the Penal Code, while the defense sought to apply the more lenient cumulative rule. The court determined that because the new crime was committed after a final judgment, the legal situation mandated successive punishment rather than cumulative treatment.
