The High Court of Cassation and Justice, sitting as the full bench for appeals in the public interest, admitted the prosecutor-general’s appeal in the public interest and established a uniform interpretation of the law. The dispute concerned the legal nature and procedural requirements for collecting biological samples from persons convicted of or facing deferred/suspended sentences for specific offenses under the National System of Judicial Genetic Data Act. The Court ruled that the collection of such samples is discretionary rather than mandatory, granting courts the competence to decide whether to include genetic data in the system. This interpretation was rendered pursuant to the provisions of Article 7(1) of Law No. 76/2008 regarding the organization and functioning of the National System of Judicial Genetic Data, and the obligations set forth in Article 474(4) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
