Legislator-Zusammenfassung

KI-generiert

The Constitutional Court declared specific norms of the Fiscal Offenses Decree-Law unconstitutional for violating Article 29(4) of the Constitution. The Ministry of Public Prosecution challenged the interpretation that new, more favorable laws should apply to offenses previously classified as misdemeanors. The court ruled that such norms must be struck down to ensure the constitutional principle of favoring the accused with new legislation is respected.
