The review says that deciding whether to arrest Putin would not be Lula’s responsibility: “não é competência dele decidir pela prisão”, with the decision belonging to the courts. It explains that an arrest could involve the judiciary or Federal Police and would depend on legal, diplomatic, and practical factors.[S1]

Additional context

Lula said in an interview on September 9, 2023, that Putin would not be arrested if he came to Brazil, then said on September 11 that the courts would decide. [S1]
