Unofficial summary in English. The judgment is published in Portuguese only, and only the Portuguese text is authentic.
The appellant appealed to the Plenary seeking harmonisation of case law, alleging a conflict between Judgment No. 1050/2025, delivered in his criminal case, and Judgment No. 883/2024 concerning the assessment of evidence and defence guarantees. The Court dismissed the appeal because there was no conflict between the judgments, which rested on different facts and distinct procedural legal issues, so the conditions for admissibility of the appeal were not met.
