PCSP Delegado De Polícia Practice Questions - Concurso PCSP - Delegado De Polícia De 3a Classe (São Paulo, Brazil) Exam

A more severe criminal law enacted during the execution of a continuous (crime continuado) or permanent (crime permanente) offense applies to the entire conduct if its enactment preceded the cessation of continuity or permanence. The principle of non-retroactivity of more severe penal law (lex gravior) admits an exception whenever the offense violates international human rights treaties. A retroactively beneficial criminal law (lex mitior) cannot be applied once a criminal conviction has achieved final judgment (trânsito em julgado). The abolition of a crime (abolitio criminis) extinguishes the penal execution and civil reparation effects arising from the conviction.
