The Constitutional Court granted the appeal filed by the Public Prosecutor against a lower court's declaration of constitutionality. The lower court had previously upheld Article 4 of Decree-Law 124/90 regarding deportation procedures. The court reversed this, finding the specific deportation clause violated constitutional rights and ordered the lower court to reform its decision accordingly.
