Brazil's extradition treaty with Portugal is largely ineffective because Portuguese courts prioritize constitutional protections over treaty obligations, as demonstrated by the Duarte Lima case where Brazilian prosecutors successfully transferred criminal files to Lisbon for local retrial rather than extradition, creating a workaround that Brazil is expected to apply to Barbosa.

Brazil's Secret Extradition Loophole Explained #shortsAdded:
Brazil mirrors the rule. Native Brazilians can't be extradited either.
Two countries, two identical escape hatches. Here's where it gets interesting. The 1991 Brazil Portugal extradition treaty worth less than the paper it's printed on. The numbers don't lie. Portuguese courts have ruled over and over that treaties cannot override the Constitution.
Every compliant Brazilian request dies at the door. Brazilia has spent decades slamming into that wall. This is where Brazil plays its second card. The Dwarte Lima workaround. Lima was a Portuguese parliamentarian accused of killing an ays near Rio in 2009. Couldn't be extradited either. So, Brazilian prosecutors shipped the criminal file to Lisbon and Portuguese courts retried him at home.
Expect Brazil to file identical paperwork on Barbosa within 90
