Asylum-Seeking Ex–Peru First Lady Petitions Brazil’s Supreme Court to Halt Extradition and Void Odebrecht Evidence

Overview

• Lawyers for Nadine Heredia asked Brazil’s Supreme Federal Court to nullify evidence from Odebrecht’s Drousys and MyWebDay systems in her case.
• They also requested an injunction barring any cooperation with Peru, including extradition, transfer of sentence, or enforcement of an international arrest warrant.
• The petition seeks assignment to Justice Dias Toffoli, who has previously deemed Odebrecht-derived materials inadmissible in related matters.
• The filing had not yet been distributed within the court, according to reports from the parties.
• Heredia was sentenced in Peru to 15 years for money laundering linked to contributions to Ollanta Humala’s 2006 and 2011 campaigns and received Brazilian diplomatic asylum in April.
