He moved to Portugal where he completed a bachelor's and a master's degree in law before graduating with a PhD in international relations.[1][2] He then worked as an assistant professor of law at the Instituto Superior de Ciências Sociais e Políticas[3] before becoming a legal correspondent and commentator on the Você na TV current affairs show.[4]
