The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the appeal regarding the extension of preventive detention for a drug trafficking defendant. The lower court had applied extended procedural time limits automatically under the Drug Trafficking Law without judicially declaring the case exceptionally complex. The appellate court ruled that such a declaration is unnecessary when the specific statutory provisions for drug trafficking cases are invoked.
