The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the appeal regarding a threat conviction, ruling that the law does not demand a specific form of delivery for the crime. The court held that an 'adequate form' suffices to offend the protected legal interest, meaning indirect or non-frontal expressions do not invalidate the charge. Consequently, the defendant's argument that the threat was not conveyed directly in conversation was rejected as irrelevant to the adequacy requirement under Article 153 of the Penal Code.

SUMÁRIO

No crime de ameaça, não exige a lei uma concreta forma por que seja veiculada aquela, bastando-se com que seja uma "forma adequada" a ofender o bem jurídico protegido com a incriminação, pelo que não é porque das expressões respectivas decorre que o arguido as não disse de forma frontal e em conversação directa com o visado que fica prejudicada a adequação exigida no artigo 153 do Código penal.
