The Tribunal da Relação de Lisboa ruled that the amnesty law covers offenses punishable by imprisonment up to one year and a fine. The prosecution argued the specific phrasing excluded combined penalties, while the defense contended the statutory language was inclusive. The court decided in favor of the defense, interpreting the law broadly to include hybrid penalties within the specified time limit.

SUMÁRIO

Tendo a lei considerado amnistiadas as infracções "cuja pena aplicável não seja superior a um ano de prisão ou multa", deve entender-se que cabe nessa previsão uma infracção punível com prisão até um ano e multa.
