  • The Court of Appeal scheduled the extradition hearing for November 27 at 13:00 local time (09:00 Brasília).
  • The Italian Public Prosecutor has issued a favorable opinion on extradition requested by Brazil in cooperation with Italian authorities.
  • Zambelli has been in preventive detention at Rome’s Rebibbia women’s prison since July 29 after judges cited a high risk of flight.
