The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa allowed the appeal against a decision to revoke a suspended short-term prison sentence. The appellant argued that the sentence should be reinstated, while the prosecution contended for its full execution. The court ruled that the suspension of execution is not incompatible with a generic pardon, thereby permitting the appeal's success.

SUMÁRIO

I - A tendência do moderno direito criminal é no sentido de evitar, o mais possível as penas privativas de liberdade, dados os seus efeitos infamantes e efeitos crimonógenos, em especial nos casos de prisão de curta duração.

II - A suspensão da execução da pena não é incompatível com o seu integral perdão genérico.
