Summary:
The Portuguese Republic's Official Gazette published a cooperation agreement on April 10, 2023, between the Brazilian Ministry of Human Rights and Citizenship (MDHC) and Portugal's Ministry of Justice. This agreement allows Brazilian witnesses threatened by their testimony in criminal cases to enter a protection program in Portugal. The initiative guarantees assistance, secrecy, and security for witnesses in penal processes and vice versa. The partnership also ensures freedom in testimony-giving and prevents threats to individuals, their families, and close relatives. The agreement is subject to approval by the Brazilian Congress, with no set date yet defined.
