The Constitutional Court ordered the appellant to respond within ten days to a preliminary question regarding the non-admissibility of a constitutional appeal. The Public Prosecutor argued the appeal was inadmissible because the Tribunal of Évora lacked jurisdiction, yet the Court found no merit in this objection. Consequently, the court declined to rule on the admissibility, leaving the procedural status unresolved.
