If the USA was asking for Santos then Brazil can say no cause of the death penalty.

US can just say “human rights” which for Brazil’s legal system is a realistic complaint.

0 chance he’d get extradited. Odds are low even for an ordinary citizen unless there’s a high value arrest we want in exchange. For a politician in office? 0.

Ok but the original comment i was responding to was that there is an extradition treaty. They said there wasn't.

Whether it happens or not is another conversation. That's a debate on how Biden and Lula would handle it.
