Overview
- Italy’s Public Prosecutor told the courts that Zambelli’s extradition complies with Italian procedural law and the Brazil–Italy treaty.
- The opinion rejects the defense’s claims of political persecution and of curtailed defense in Brazil, citing consistent documentary and phone evidence.
- The Corte di Cassazione on October 8 refused a bid for house arrest, so Zambelli remains jailed until a final extradition decision.
- She has been held in the Rebibbia prison complex after the Rome Court of Appeal deemed her a serious flight risk.
- Zambelli was unanimously convicted by Brazil’s Supreme Court to 10 years in prison, a R$2 million fine, and loss of her mandate for ordering the CNJ system hack via Walter Delgatti Neto.
