The Tribunal da Relação do Porto upheld the qualification of an aggravated physical offense under Article 146 of the Penal Code. The court reasoned that this offense relies on a general fault clause containing indeterminate concepts, which must be verified through specific circumstances regarding the act and the author. Consequently, the conviction was sustained as the evidence met the statutory requirements for aggravated culpability.

SUMÁRIO

A qualificação da ofensa à integridade física prevista no artigo 146 do Código Penal deriva da verificação de um tipo de culpa agravada, assente numa cláusula geral, descrita com conceitos indeterminados (n.1), cuja verificação é indiciada por circunstâncias, umas relativas ao facto, outras ao autor, elencadas no n.2 a título exemplificativo.
