The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the appeal regarding the jurisdiction for the first judicial interrogation of a detained defendant. The lower court held that jurisdiction belongs to the criminal instruction judge of the area where the trial is conducted, not where the detention occurred. The court affirmed this rule unless the statutory time limit for the interrogation is expiring, in which case the local detention judge becomes competent.
