Questão jurídica principal
Whether the offence under the Gaming Act was time-barred under old or new limitation rules
Decisão extraída
The offence was not time-barred under either regime; the new limitation rules were not milder, so the old law applied.
Fundamentação extraída
The five-year period in Art. 57(2) SBG is an ordinary, interruptible limitation period under the old law. Even under the more favorable view, the proceedings and first-instance decisions occurred before expiry.
