The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa dismissed the appeal regarding a procedural objection to a victim's complaint. The victim successfully filed a complaint within the legal timeframe after a new law retroactively reclassified a previously public crime as semi-public. The court ruled that such legislative changes cannot strip the victim of their existing procedural rights to initiate a complaint within the established period.
