SummaryUnofficial

Six appellants, convicted of illegal currency trading, brought an extraordinary appeal on grounds of unconstitutionality against the decision of the Acting President of the Luanda Court of Appeal dismissing their complaint and upholding the rejection of their appeal concerning the forfeiture to the State of the seized money. The Court allowed the appeal because the decision lacked discernible reasons, breaching the duty to give reasons and the right of appeal, and remitted the case for a new decision.
