The court dismissed the assistant's request to open the instruction proceedings after the Public Prosecutor ordered the case files to be archived. The prosecutor argued that the request failed to meet the requirements of an accusation, specifically lacking sufficient factual indications. Consequently, the court ruled that the request was null and void because it did not constitute a valid accusation.

SUMÁRIO

O requerimento de abertura da instrução por parte do assistente (quando o Ministério Público ordena o arquivamento dos autos) reconduz-se a uma acusação, devendo por isso revestir os requisitos desta, nomeadamente quanto à indicação dos factos.

Assim não acontecendo, ocorre nulidade, tendo o Ministério Público legitimidade para a arguir, ainda que no exclusivo interesse do arguido.
