Legislator summary

AI generated

The Tribunal da Relação do Porto unanimously dismissed the appeal against a decision to revoke preventive detention. The prosecution argued that the judge lacked authority to conduct new investigative measures during the inquiry phase to assess detention justification. The court agreed, holding that only the Public Prosecutor's Office has the competence to order such diligence to determine if reasons for detention still exist.
