Brazilian courts to charge Pizzolato for extradition expenses

Public Prosecution Office will charge former Banco do Brasil Marketing Director Henrique Pizzolato the amount of $43,600 for extradition expenses from Italy to Brazil. The information was disclosed today (Oct. 23) by the Prosecutor-General Rodrigo Janot in a press conference about Pizzolato's repatriation.

According to Janot, the costs covered the trip, document's translation, and video recording at Papuda penitentiary and in two prisons in Santa Catarina, aiming at showing to the Italian authorities that the former director had been receiving decent treatment in Brazilian prisons.
