Overview

• Police in Calabria notified Eduardo Tagliaferro of Brazil’s extradition request on October 1 and released him after processing at a local station.
• The Catanzaro appeals court declined to order pretrial detention, citing the public nature of the allegations and lack of evidence he tried to flee.
• Authorities retained his passports, required him to declare his residence, and barred him from leaving Torano Castello or Italy without judicial authorization.
• Brazil’s attorney general filed charges at the Supreme Court in August, and Minister Alexandre de Moraes directed the Justice Ministry to pursue extradition via Itamaraty.
• Tagliaferro’s defense called the Brazilian measures arbitrary, and he posted a video criticizing Moraes while saying he will continue speaking out as the Italian review proceeds.
