Overview

  • The order instructs the STF’s Judicial Secretariat to forward detailed records, legal bases, and certified English translations to the Justice Ministry for an extradition request.
  • Ramagem was sentenced to 16 years in prison for crimes tied to an attempted overthrow of democratic order and was declared a fugitive after leaving Brazil during the case.
  • The Federal Police say he exited through the Guyana border and flew from Georgetown to Miami using a diplomatic passport, and they are probing a facilitation network.
  • Police reported the weekend arrest of Celso Rodrigues de Mello as a suspected member of the group that helped Ramagem flee.
  • After Justice Ministry review, the Foreign Ministry will submit the request to U.S. authorities, as political allies claim Ramagem has sought asylum.
