Duarte Lima begins to be tried for the homicide of Rosalina Ribeiro
The trial of former PSD deputy Duarte Lima for the murder of Rosalina Ribeiro begins today, with Lima expected to remain silent. The case dates back to 2009 when Ribeiro was shot and found dead, allegedly over a disputed money transfer. Lima's defense argues the murder charge has expired under Brazilian law due to his age. The trial has faced multiple delays due to witness notifications and missing recordings from Brazil.
