Unofficial summary in English. The judgment is published in Portuguese only, and only the Portuguese text is authentic.
Four defendants convicted by the Plenary of the Supreme Court of embezzlement, unlawful economic interest in business, undue receipt of advantage and abuse of power lodged an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality, invoking the rights to a fair trial, liberty, two levels of jurisdiction and the presumption of innocence, and the principle of non-retroactivity. In its reasoning, the Court concluded that the judgment had not breached those rights and principles; the published text does not contain the operative part.
