Brazilian authorities also wish to extradite Nicolas Gomes De Brito, who fled to the UK in 2019 after allegedly ordering the murder of a rival gang member in Brazil.
De Brito now runs his own motorcycle garage in London, where our undercover reporters met him under the guise of discussing a job in security.
When Brazil requested De Brito’s extradition in 2022 he was arrested by British police, but successfully argued that his human rights would be infringed if he was sent back to Brazil.
Among the arguments that he put to a British judge was his claim to have been gay and married to a man, arguing that he would be treated especially harshly in Brazilian prisons due to his sexuality.
However, when ITV News filmed with De Brito he told our undercover reporters that he had a wife and son who lived with him in the UK, raising doubts about his claims in court.
In the end, a judge decided that he could stay in Britain due to broader concerns about his treatment in prison unrelated to his sexuality – namely that his rights under Article 3 of the ECHR could be violated.
