Questão jurídica principal
Whether the constitutional complaint could challenge issues of federal criminal law and the EMRK 'nulla poena sine lege' argument
Decisão extraída
The complaint could not be used to raise direct issues of federal criminal law; those points belonged in a nullity appeal. The EMRK legality argument, insofar as it attacked the application of federal law, was likewise inadmissible here.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 84(2) OG bars constitutional complaints where the alleged violation can be raised by another remedy. The challenged questions concerned application of federal criminal law, not reviewable in this procedure.
