Does paying bail prevent extradition?
According to Estadão, a Federal Police delegate with expertise in the international area said that paying bail guarantees that the businessman will await trial in freedom, but does not affect the extradition process. “It doesn’t mean there won’t be extradition. The country maintains good border control,” he explains.

What does extradition depend on?
The Ministry of Justice and Public Security is the body responsible for conducting extradition processes. Before acting, the department normally waits for the formal repatriation request made by the Judiciary, and then forwards the request to the government of the foreign country. According to Estadão, the Ministry had not yet responded to the report on the progress of the case.
Does Brennand need to obey any rules?
Instead of prison, the businessman must comply with alternative precautionary measures, such as providing a fixed address, not leaving the United Arab Emirates without informing the Court and attending hearings whenever notified.
What are the charges against the businessman?
