AI generated

The Tribunal da Relação do Porto upheld the decision to break bail after the prosecution and defendant were heard. The court found that the lower judge violated the principle of contradiction by ordering the bail forfeiture without first conducting these mandatory hearings. Consequently, the court ruled that such procedural safeguards are essential before depriving a defendant of their bail.
