The Constitutional Court declared the public prosecution's appeal against the amnesty of an administrative fine inadmissible. The Ministry of Public Prosecution challenged the decision of the Criminal Court of Small Instance in Lisbon to grant amnesty to the fine. The court ruled that the appeal lacked standing because the amnesty was a final administrative act not subject to constitutional review by the prosecution.
