Amnesty for fraud via check covers fraud via forged check under Article 1 of Law 15/94.

The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa dismissed the appeal regarding the scope of amnesty for fraud committed through checks. The prosecution argued that the amnesty provision specifically covered fraud using checks, while the defense contended it excluded fraud involving forged checks. The court ruled that the legislative intent of the amnesty law encompasses both forms of fraud, thereby invalidating the distinction made by the lower court.
