Legislator summary

AI generated

The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa dismissed the appeal regarding the interruption of criminal prescription. The court held that the defendant's interrogation during the inquest phase validly interrupted the prescription period, whereas the request to reconstruct the traffic accident was deemed unnecessary for discovering the material truth. Consequently, the procedural timeline was preserved based on the statutory interruption rule rather than the evidentiary value of the accident reconstruction.

SUMÁRIO

I - A reconstituição de um acidente de viação monstrando-se que não é essencial para a descoberta da verdade material, deve ser indeferida.

II - O interrogatório do agente ou as suas primeiras declarações, na fase de inquérito, interrompe a prescrição do procedimento criminal.
