The Constitutional Court dismissed the unconstitutionality challenge against Article 9 of Decree-Law 154/91, ruling the specific segment remains valid. The Ministry of Public Prosecution and A. SA argued the norm violated constitutional principles, but the court found no such defect. Consequently, the court revoked the lower tribunal's decision and ordered its reform to align with the finding of constitutionality.
