The Tribunal da Relação do Porto ruled that the notification of the indictment and trial date suspends and interrupts the criminal prescription period. The defendant argued regarding the application of Articles 311 and 312 of the 1987 Criminal Procedure Code versus the older 1929 code. The court upheld the suspension and interruption based on the continuity of these procedural acts across the legislative transition.
