Unofficial summary in English. The judgment is published in Portuguese only, and only the Portuguese text is authentic.
A defendant appealed against the order of the President of the Supreme Court refusing him habeas corpus, alleging excessive pre-trial detention, having been held for more than 29 months without a final conviction, and invoking the right to liberty. The Court noted that the appellant had not appealed against his conviction and that, once the co-defendants' appeal had been decided by Judgment No. 922/2024, the conviction became final and pre-trial detention ended, so it closed the proceedings as moot.
