The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa dismissed the appeal regarding the qualification of an aggravated theft case. The prosecution argued that the crime required specific aggravating circumstances beyond mere joint participation, while the defense contended otherwise. The court ruled unanimously that the presence of two perpetrators alone satisfies the conditions for applying the aggravating provisions of both the Penal Code and the relevant Decree-Law.
