Acordam na 2ª Secção do Tribunal Constitucional:

Nestes autos, em que são recorrentes A. e B. e recorrido o MINISTÉRIO PÚBLICO, - pelo essencial das razões aduzidas na exposição inicial do relator, com que o Ministério Público disse concordar inteiramente e cuja consistência a resposta dos recorrentes não abalou, - decide-se não tomar conhecimento do recurso e, em consequência, condenar os recorrentes a custas, fixando-se, para o efeito, em cinco unidades de conta a taxa de justiça.
