The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa dismissed the criminal appeal regarding a private prosecution initiated under a general power of attorney. The court found that the attorney's document merely indicated broad powers to make criminal complaints without specifying the alleged facts or identifying the specific individuals involved. Consequently, the procedural requirement for a particularized complaint was not met, rendering the prosecution invalid.
