Flávio Bolsonaro Urges Italy to Block Extraditions at Salvini’s Lega Event

Overview

• Speaking in Bergamo, the senator criticized Supreme Court minister Alexandre de Moraes and cited the July 30 U.S. Magnitsky sanctions against him as evidence of alleged abuses.
• He asked Italian authorities not to return deputy Carla Zambelli and former TSE aide Eduardo Tagliaferro, calling them political persecuted, while Zambelli remains detained in Rome after a 10-year sentence for hacking the CNJ.
• Italian procedures involve parallel requests from Brazil, including Moraes’s request for an Interpol red notice for Zambelli and an extradition request for Tagliaferro, who was denounced by the Prosecutor General’s Office.
• He said his brother, deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro, is living in the United States and claimed a judge barred him from speaking with Jair Bolsonaro, as Valor reported that Brazil’s Federal Police opened a disciplinary process against the lawmaker.
• On the domestic front, he defended the so‑called PEC da Blindagem as a necessary shield for legislators and criticized negotiations over penalty reductions tied to the January 8 cases.
