Questão jurídica principal
Whether the public prosecutor lacked competence to communicate continuation of detention after 1 January 2011
Decisão extraída
The prosecutor did not issue a detention decision; it merely informed the detainee of the transitional effect and the next review date.
Fundamentação extraída
Under Art. 448 CPP, pre-existing detention orders remained valid. The prosecutor's letter had informational, not decisional, character, so the new competence of the coercive measures court was not bypassed.
