Questão jurídica principal
Whether the older foreigner law or the new law applied to the pre-2008 conduct
Decisão extraída
The new law applied only if it was more favorable; because it punishes only intentional conduct and is otherwise harsher, it would not benefit the appellant if intent were proven.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 2 CP and Art. 126 para. 4 LEtr require the lex mitior analysis. LEtr is narrower on fault but more severe on sanctions than the former LSEE.
