Defensor Público Federal DPU Practice Questions - Concurso Público Para Defensor Público Federal (DPU) Exam

The Principle of Insignificance is generally inapplicable to contraband, but exceptional jurisprudence admits it when the seized quantity of cigarettes is extremely small (small consumption quantity) without commercial intent. The Principle of Insignificance applies automatically whenever the total value of the seized contraband cigarettes is below the fiscal execution limit of R$ 20,000. Contraband is subject to a mandatory statutory pardon (perdão judicial) by the Federal Public Prosecutor whenever the offender has no prior criminal records. The Principle of Insignificance applies unconditionally to all goods whose internal sale is not prohibited by federal criminal statute.
