The 57-year-old man was already sentenced to 12 years in prison.
“The Interpol ‘red notice’ was received on December 2nd, and since then, an exchange of police information has developed with the Brazilian authorities, allowing the aggressor to be located and detained”, explains the PJ statement.
According to the PJ, the detainee entered Portugal in September 2017 and was in an irregular situation. He lived with other foreign citizens and carried out undeclared work.
The man will be brought before the Lisbon Court of Appeal to apply a coercive measure.
