Overview
- Italian police took Eduardo Tagliaferro to a station in Calabria to notify him of Brazil’s extradition bid, then released him to return home.
- He must surrender his passport, remain at his declared address in Torano Castello, keep set hours for domicile checks, and not leave the municipality or Italy without authorization.
- The Tribunal of Appeal of Catanzaro denied a Brazilian request to imprison him, citing the public nature of the accusations and a lack of flight risk.
- Brazil’s prosecutor general has denounced Tagliaferro at the Supreme Federal Court for alleged breach of secrecy, coercion, obstruction, and attempted violent abolition of the democratic state.
- Tagliaferro, an Italian citizen and former TSE disinformation unit chief, disputes the case as arbitrary and publicly criticized Justice Alexandre de Moraes, as Italy now weighs the extradition request.
