Questão jurídica principal
Whether the criminal appeal was admissible despite being filed by an unauthorized representative
Decisão extraída
No admissible appeal was filed because the submission was not signed by the appellant personally or by a licensed representative.
Fundamentação extraída
In criminal matters, parties may be represented before the Federal Supreme Court only by lawyers. The defect was notified under Art. 42(5) BGG and not cured within the set time limit, so the appeal had to be disregarded under Art. 108 BGG.
