The Tribunal da Relação do Porto ruled that Article 63 of the Road Code specifically governs vehicle forfeiture, superseding the general rules in Article 107 of the Penal Code. The prosecution argued for forfeiture of a vehicle used as an instrument in a voluntary crime punishable by over three years' imprisonment. The court held that the specific provision in the Road Code takes precedence over the general penal code provision regarding the transfer of such vehicles to the State.
