The review facility shall have the purpose of revoking, amending or confirming the decision concerning the exercise of the right of appeal. It shall be processed in an expeditious manner. The silence of the Attorney General of the Republic, or of the public servant to whom that power has been delegated, shall constitute the effect of confirming the resolution of the Public Ministry of the Federation.
