The Tribunal da Relação do Porto allowed the opening of the criminal investigation upon the accused's request for a psychiatric examination. The accused, facing charges, argued they were inimputable due to a mental anomaly and posed no danger, seeking an exam of their mental faculties. The court ruled that such a request is legally admissible to verify the defense's claim of lack of criminal responsibility.
