Brazilian Senators Head to Rome to Visit Detained Carla Zambelli and Press for House Arrest

Moraes ordered the case files sent to the Chamber’s CCJ to advance the loss-of-mandate process.

Overview

  • Italian courts have decided Zambelli will remain jailed in Rome while her extradition case proceeds, rejecting a bid for release on health grounds.
  • The senators plan to meet Justice Minister Carlo Nordio and Italian lawmakers to ask that she await extradition under house arrest or provisional release.
  • Legal assessments cited in the coverage estimate the extradition process in Italy could last about one and a half to two years.
  • Moraes directed the STF case files, including previously confidential materials, to be delivered to the CCJ within 24 hours for use in the cassation review.
  • Zambelli received a ten-year STF sentence in the CNJ hacking case and was later convicted of illegal firearm possession and constrangimento ilegal, while the CCJ continues to hear witnesses in the mandate case.
