Resolução da Assembleia da República n.º 13/88

Aprova para ratificação o Tratado de Extradição entre Portugal e a Austrália

Obrigação de extraditar

As Partes Contratantes acordam na extradição recíproca, de acordo com as disposições do presente Tratado, de quaisquer pessoas para fins de procedimento criminal ou de imposição (pronúncia) de uma pena perante uma autoridade competente ou para o cumprimento de uma pena, no Estado requerente em virtude de um crime que dê lugar a extradição.

Artigo 2.º

Crimes que dão lugar a extradição

1 -Para os fins do presente Tratado, entende-se por crimes que dão lugar a extradição os crimes que, de acordo com as leis das duas Partes Contratantes, sejam puníveis com pena de prisão ou outra pena privativa da liberdade cuja duração máxima não seja inferior a um ano. Quando o pedido de extradição diga respeito a uma pessoa condenada pela prática de um crime dessa natureza e procurada com vista ao cumprimento de uma pena de prisão ou outra pena privativa da liberdade, a extradição apenas será concedida se a duração da pena de prisão ou da pena privativa da liberdade ainda por cumprir não for inferior a seis meses.
2 -Para os fins do presente artigo, na determinação dos crimes segundo a lei de ambas as Partes Contratantes:
1. a)Não releva que as leis das Partes Contratantes qualifiquem diferentemente os elementos constitutivos do crime ou utilizem a mesma ou diferente terminologia legal;
2. b)Todos os factos imputados à pessoa cuja extradição é pedida serão considerados, sendo irrelevante a circunstância de serem ou não diferentes os elementos constitutivos do crime, segundo as leis das Partes Contratantes.
3 -Quando o crime que deu lugar ao pedido de extradição tenha sido cometido fora do território do Estado requerente, a extradição será concedida, de acordo com as disposições do presente Tratado, desde que:
1. a)A pessoa cuja extradição é pedida seja nacional do Estado requerente; ou
2. b)A lei do Estado requerido preveja a punição de um crime cometido fora do seu território, em condições semelhantes.
4 -Quando a extradição for pedida por um crime em matéria de taxas, impostos, direitos aduaneiro e cambial, a extradição não será recusada pelo facto de a lei do Estado requerido não prever o mesmo tipo de taxas ou impostos ou não conter o mesmo tipo de regulamentação em matéria de taxas, impostos, direitos aduaneiro e cambial que a legislação do Estado requerente.
5 -A extradição pode ser concedida, em conformidade com as disposições do presente Tratado, independentemente da data em que foi cometido o crime com base no qual é pedida a extradição, desde que:
1. a)Se tratasse de um crime no Estado requerente à data da prática dos factos que constituem o crime; e
2. b)Os factos imputados, caso tivessem ocorrido no Estado requerido à data da formulação do pedido de extradição, constituíssem um crime segundo a lei em vigor nesse Estado.

Artigo 3.º

Nacionais

1 -O Estado requerido tem o direito de recusar a extradição dos seus nacionais e recusá-la-á sempre que a sua Constituição ou a sua lei o determine.
2 -Quando o Estado requerido se recusar a extraditar uma pessoa pelo facto de ser seu nacional, deverá, caso o Estado requerente o solicite e as leis do Estado requerido o permitam, submeter o caso às autoridades competentes para que providenciem pelo procedimento criminal contra essa pessoa por todos ou alguns dos crimes que deram lugar ao pedido de extradição.

Artigo 4.º

Excepções a extradição

1 -A extradição não será concedida se:

  1. i)A lei do Estado requerido; ou
  2. ii)Qualquer convenção internacional em que as duas Partes Contratantes sejam parte;
2. b)Existirem fundadas razões para concluir que o pedido de extradição por um crime comum foi formulado para fins de procedimento criminal ou de cumprimento de pena por parte de uma pessoa, em virtude da sua raça, religião, nacionalidade ou opinião política, ou que a situação dessa pessoa possa ser prejudicada por qualquer dessas razões;
3. c)O crime que deu lugar ao pedido de extradição for punível com pena de morte;
4. d)O crime que deu lugar ao pedido de extradição for uma infracção à lei militar, que não seja também previsto e punido na lei penal ordinária das Partes Contratantes;
5. e)Tiver sido proferida uma sentença definitiva no Estado requerido ou num terceiro Estado em relação ao crime que deu lugar ao pedido de extradição; e
  1. i)A pessoa tiver sido absolvida;
  2. ii)A pena de prisão a que a pessoa foi condenada tiver sido integralmente cumprida ou tiver sido, na totalidade ou em relação à parte ainda por cumprir, perdoada ou amnistiada; ou
  3. iii)O tribunal julgou a pessoa sem lhe impor o cumprimento de uma pena;
6. f)Teve lugar uma amnistia do crime que deu lugar ao pedido de extradição ou se, de acordo com a lei de qualquer das Partes Contratantes, estiver extinto o procedimento criminal ou a pena por prescrição ou por qualquer outra causa;
7. g)Ao ser extraditado para o Estado requerente, a pessoa fique sujeita a:
  1. i)Ser julgada ou condenada, nesse Estado, por um tribunal especialmente constituído para o efeito ou que apenas ocasionalmente, ou em circunstâncias excepcionais, está autorizado a julgar pessoas acusadas do crime que deu lugar ao pedido de extradição; ou
  2. ii)Cumprir uma pena imposta por esse tribunal.
2 -O Estado requerido tem o direito de recusar a extradição se:
1. a)As autoridades competentes do Estado requerido tiverem decidido abster-se de instaurar procedimento criminal contra a pessoa em relação à qual é pedida a extradição pelo crime que deu lugar ao pedido de extradição;
2. b)O crime que deu lugar ao pedido de extradição for considerado, de acordo com a lei do Estado requerido, como tendo sido cometido, no todo ou em parte, no território desse Estado;
3. c)Estiver pendente no Estado requerido procedimento criminal contra a pessoa em relação à qual é pedida a extradição pelo crime que deu lugar ao pedido de extradição; ou
4. d)A pessoa cuja entrega é solicitada tiver sido condenada à revelia pelo crime que deu lugar ao pedido de extradição, excepto se o Estado requerente prestar uma garantia, considerada suficiente pelo Estado requerido, de que essa pessoa, após a entrega, terá o direito de recorrer da sentença ou de qualquer novo julgamento; ou
5. e)O crime que deu lugar ao pedido de extradição for punível com pena de prisão perpétua, para os fins do presente Tratado; um crime não será considerado púnível com pena de prisão perpétua desde que o Estado requerente dê ao Estado requerido a garantia de que, apesar da imposição dessa pena, a pessoa pode ser libertada.
3 -O Estado requerido pode sugerir ao Estado requerente que retire um pedido de extradição, especificando as razões da sua atitude, quando considere que, em atenção à idade, saúde ou outras circunstâncias particulares da pessoa cuja entrega é solicitada, essa extradição não deveria ser pedida.

TREATY ON EXTRADITION BETWEEN THE REPUBLIC OF PORTUGAL AND AUSTRALIA
The Republic of Portugal and Australia:
Desiring to make more efective the co-operation of the two countries in the suppression of crime by concluding a treaty for the extradition of persons charged with or convicted of offences:
Have agreed as follows:
Article 1
Obligation to extradite
Each Contracting Party agrees to extradite to the other, in accordance with the provisions of this treaty, any persons who are wanted for prosecution before a competent authority or the imposition of a sentence by such an authority or the enforcement of such a sentence in the requesting State for an extraditable offence.
Article 2
Extraditable offences
1 -For the purposes of this Treaty, extraditable offences are offences which are punishable under the laws of both Contracting Parties by imprisonment or other measure of deprivation of liberty for a maximum period of at least one year. Where the request for extradition relates to a person convicted of such an offence who is wanted for the enforcement of a sentence of imprisonment or other measure of deprivation of liberty, extradition shall be granted only if a period of at least six months imprisonment or other measure of deprivation of liberty remains to be served.
2 -For the purposes of this article, in determining whether an offence is an offence against the law of both Contracting Parties:
1. a)It shall not matter whether the laws of the Contracting Parties place the acts or omissions constituting the offence within the same category of offence or denominate the offense by the same terminology;
2. b)The totality of the acts or omissions alleged against the person whose extradition is requested shall be taken into account and it shall not matter whether, under the laws of the Contracting Parties, the constituent elements of the offence differ.
3 -Where the offence for which extradition is requested has been committed outside the territory of the requesting State extradition shall be granted, subject to the provisions of this Treaty:
1. a)If the person whose extradition is requested is a national of the requesting State; or
2. b)If the law of the requested State provides for the punishment of an offence committed outside its territory in similar circumstances.
4 -Where extradition of a person is requested for an offence against a law relating to taxation, duties, customs, foreign exchange control, extradition shall not be refused on the ground that the law of the requested State does not impose the same kind of tax or duty or does not contain a tax, duty, customs, or exchange regulation of the same kind as the law of the requesting State.
5 -Extradition may to be granted pursuant to the provisions of this Treaty irrespective of when the offence in relation to which extradition is requested was committed, provided that:
1. a)It was an offence in the requesting State at the time of the acts or omissions constituting the offence; and
2. b)The acts or omissions alleged would, if they had taken place in the requested State at the time of the making of the request for extradition, have constituted an offence against the law in force in that State.
  Article 3
  Nationals
1 -The requested State shall have the right to refuse to extradite its nationals, and shall refuse to do so, if its constitution or its law so require.
2 -Where the requested State refuses to extradite a person on the ground that the person is a national of the requested State, it shall, if the requesting State so requests and the laws of the requested State allow, submit the case to the competent authorities in order that proceedings for the prosecution of the person in respect of all or any of the offences for which extradition has been requested may be taken.
Article 4
Exceptions to extradition
1 -Extradition shall no be granted if:
1. a)The offence for which extradition is requested is regarded by the requested State as a political offence, provided that offences which are not political offences according to:
  1. i)The law of the requested State; or
  2. ii)Any international convention to which both Contracting Parties are party, shall not be regarded as political offences for the purposes of this Treaty;
2. b)There are substantial grounds for believing that a request for extradition for an ordinary criminal offence has been made for the purposes of prosecuting or punishing a person on account of that person's race, religion, nationality or political opinion or that that person's position may be prejudiced for any of those reasons;
3. c)The offence for which extradition is requested is punishable by death;
4. d)The offence for which extradition is requested is an offence under military law, which is not an offence under the ordinary criminal law of the Contracting Parties;
5. e)Final judgement has been rendered in the requested State or in a third State in respect of the offence for which the extradition is requested; and
  1. i)The judgement resulted in the person's acquittal;
  2. ii)The term of imprisonment to which the person was sentenced has been completely enforced, or is wholly or, with respect to the part not enforced, the subject of a pardon or an amnesty; or
  3. iii)The court convicted the person without imposing a penalty;
6. f)The person whose extradition is requested is the subject of an amnesty in respect of the offence for which extradition is requested, or has, according to the law of either Contracting Party, become immune from prosecution or punishment by reason of lapse of time, or for any other reason;
7. g)The person, on being extradited to the requesting State, would be liable:
  1. i)To be tried or sentenced in that State by a court or tribunal that has been specially established for the purpose of trying the person's case, or that is only occasionally, or under exceptional circumstances, authorised to try persons accused of the offence for which extradition is requested; or
  2. ii)To serve a sentence imposed by such a court or tribunal.

3. c)A prosecution in respect of the offence for which extradition is requested is pending in the requested State against the person whose extradition is requested;

5. e)The offence for which extradition is requested is punishable by life imprisonment. For the purposes of this Treaty, an offence shall not be regarded as punishable by life imprisonment if the requesting State gives the requested State an assurance that, notwithstanding the imposition of a sentence of life imprisonment, the person could be released.
3 -The requested State may recommend to the requesting State that a request for extradition be withdrawn, specifying the reasons therefor, where it considers, taking into account the age, health or other personal circumstances of the person sought, that extradition should not be requested.
Article 5
Rule of speciality

4 -If the description of the offence charged in the requesting State is altered in the course of proceedings, the person extradited shall be proceeded against or sentenced only in so far as the offence under its new description is an offence for which extradition could be granted pursuant to this Treaty.
Article 6
Re-extradition to a third State
1 -Where a person has been surrendered to the requesting State by the requested State, the requesting State shall not extradite that person to any third State for an offence committed before that person's surrender unless:

Article 7
Concurrent requests
If extradition is requested concurrently by a Contracting Party and by one or more other States, whether for the same or for different acts or omissions, the requested State shall determine to which of those States the person is to be extradited having regard to the circumstances and, in particular, the existence of other treaties binding on the requested State, the relative gravity of the offences and where they were committed, the respective dates of the requests, the nationality of the person and the possibility of subsequent re-extradition.

TREATY ON EXTRADITION BETWEEN THE REPUBLIC OF PORTUGAL AND AUSTRALIA
The Republic of Portugal and Australia:
Desiring to make more efective the co-operation of the two countries in the suppression of crime by concluding a treaty for the extradition of persons charged with or convicted of offences:
Have agreed as follows:
Article 1
Obligation to extradite
Each Contracting Party agrees to extradite to the other, in accordance with the provisions of this treaty, any persons who are wanted for prosecution before a competent authority or the imposition of a sentence by such an authority or the enforcement of such a sentence in the requesting State for an extraditable offence.
Article 2
Extraditable offences
1 -For the purposes of this Treaty, extraditable offences are offences which are punishable under the laws of both Contracting Parties by imprisonment or other measure of deprivation of liberty for a maximum period of at least one year. Where the request for extradition relates to a person convicted of such an offence who is wanted for the enforcement of a sentence of imprisonment or other measure of deprivation of liberty, extradition shall be granted only if a period of at least six months imprisonment or other measure of deprivation of liberty remains to be served.
2 -For the purposes of this article, in determining whether an offence is an offence against the law of both Contracting Parties:
1. a)It shall not matter whether the laws of the Contracting Parties place the acts or omissions constituting the offence within the same category of offence or denominate the offense by the same terminology;
2. b)The totality of the acts or omissions alleged against the person whose extradition is requested shall be taken into account and it shall not matter whether, under the laws of the Contracting Parties, the constituent elements of the offence differ.
3 -Where the offence for which extradition is requested has been committed outside the territory of the requesting State extradition shall be granted, subject to the provisions of this Treaty:
1. a)If the person whose extradition is requested is a national of the requesting State; or
2. b)If the law of the requested State provides for the punishment of an offence committed outside its territory in similar circumstances.
4 -Where extradition of a person is requested for an offence against a law relating to taxation, duties, customs, foreign exchange control, extradition shall not be refused on the ground that the law of the requested State does not impose the same kind of tax or duty or does not contain a tax, duty, customs, or exchange regulation of the same kind as the law of the requesting State.
5 -Extradition may to be granted pursuant to the provisions of this Treaty irrespective of when the offence in relation to which extradition is requested was committed, provided that:
1. a)It was an offence in the requesting State at the time of the acts or omissions constituting the offence; and
2. b)The acts or omissions alleged would, if they had taken place in the requested State at the time of the making of the request for extradition, have constituted an offence against the law in force in that State.
  Article 3
  Nationals
1 -The requested State shall have the right to refuse to extradite its nationals, and shall refuse to do so, if its constitution or its law so require.
2 -Where the requested State refuses to extradite a person on the ground that the person is a national of the requested State, it shall, if the requesting State so requests and the laws of the requested State allow, submit the case to the competent authorities in order that proceedings for the prosecution of the person in respect of all or any of the offences for which extradition has been requested may be taken.
Article 4
Exceptions to extradition
1 -Extradition shall no be granted if:
1. a)The offence for which extradition is requested is regarded by the requested State as a political offence, provided that offences which are not political offences according to:
  1. i)The law of the requested State; or
  2. ii)Any international convention to which both Contracting Parties are party, shall not be regarded as political offences for the purposes of this Treaty;
2. b)There are substantial grounds for believing that a request for extradition for an ordinary criminal offence has been made for the purposes of prosecuting or punishing a person on account of that person's race, religion, nationality or political opinion or that that person's position may be prejudiced for any of those reasons;
3. c)The offence for which extradition is requested is punishable by death;
4. d)The offence for which extradition is requested is an offence under military law, which is not an offence under the ordinary criminal law of the Contracting Parties;
5. e)Final judgement has been rendered in the requested State or in a third State in respect of the offence for which the extradition is requested; and
  1. i)The judgement resulted in the person's acquittal;
  2. ii)The term of imprisonment to which the person was sentenced has been completely enforced, or is wholly or, with respect to the part not enforced, the subject of a pardon or an amnesty; or
  3. iii)The court convicted the person without imposing a penalty;
6. f)The person whose extradition is requested is the subject of an amnesty in respect of the offence for which extradition is requested, or has, according to the law of either Contracting Party, become immune from prosecution or punishment by reason of lapse of time, or for any other reason;
7. g)The person, on being extradited to the requesting State, would be liable:
  1. i)To be tried or sentenced in that State by a court or tribunal that has been specially established for the purpose of trying the person's case, or that is only occasionally, or under exceptional circumstances, authorised to try persons accused of the offence for which extradition is requested; or
  2. ii)To serve a sentence imposed by such a court or tribunal.
2 -The requested State shall have the right to refuse extradition if:
1. a)The competent authorities of the requested State have decided to refrain from prosecuting the person whose extradition is requested for the offence in respect of which extradition is requested;
2. b)The offence for which extradition is requested is regarded under the law of the requested State as having been committed in whole or in part within that State;
3. c)A prosecution in respect of the offence for which extradition is requested is pending in the requested State against the person whose extradition is requested;
4. d)The person sought has been convicted in that person's absence of the offence for which extradition is requested, unless the requesting State provides an assurance, which is considered by the requested State to be sufficient, that the person sought shall, upon surrender, have a right to appeal against the conviction or to seek a new trial; or
5. e)The offence for which extradition is requested is punishable by life imprisonment. For the purposes of this Treaty, an offence shall not be regarded as punishable by life imprisonment if the requesting State gives the requested State an assurance that, notwithstanding the imposition of a sentence of life imprisonment, the person could be released.
3 -The requested State may recommend to the requesting State that a request for extradition be withdrawn, specifying the reasons therefor, where it considers, taking into account the age, health or other personal circumstances of the person sought, that extradition should not be requested.
Article 5
Rule of speciality

4 -If the description of the offence charged in the requesting State is altered in the course of proceedings, the person extradited shall be proceeded against or sentenced only in so far as the offence under its new description is an offence for which extradition could be granted pursuant to this Treaty.
Article 6
Re-extradition to a third State
1 -Where a person has been surrendered to the requesting State by the requested State, the requesting State shall not extradite that person to any third State for an offence committed before that person's surrender unless:
