The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the appeal regarding a criminal threat case decided on February 11, 1998. The court held that the crime of threat is consummated once the threat is adequate to provoke fear, regardless of whether the victim actually felt afraid in the specific instance. Consequently, the prosecution's argument that the lack of actual fear negated the crime was rejected by the unanimous panel.
