A time-honored Portuguese saying, “Ladrão que rouba ladrão tem cem anos de perdão,” translates to, “A thief who robs a thief has a hundred years of pardon.” This adage embodies a universal tendency to relish when wrongdoers receive their due, suggesting a form of poetic justice. While it doesn’t legally validate such actions, it serves as a humorous nod to the complexities of morality and retribution in our justice systems.
