Brazil Seeks Extradition of Bolsonaro Backers from Argentina

Brazilian authorities aim to extradite dozens linked to the January 2023 coup attempt, now residing in Argentina.

Brazil's Federal Police have requested the extradition of 63 individuals accused of participating in the January 8, 2023, riots in Brasilia.
The extradition request, involving suspects believed to be in Argentina, has been sent to Brazil's Justice Ministry for further action.
The January 2023 riots involved the storming of Brazil's Congress, Supreme Court, and presidential palace by supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro.
Many of the accused fled Brazil following the incident, with some reportedly escaping to Argentina after the election of right-wing President Javier Milei.
The extradition process is part of a broader investigation into the attempted coup, which has resulted in numerous arrests and ongoing legal proceedings.
