Overview
- Italy’s Public Prosecutor has issued a favorable opinion on extradition, rejecting claims of political persecution and citing consistent testimonial and documentary evidence.
- Zambelli’s lawyers submitted roughly 70 new items, including a committee report by Deputy Diego Garcia opposing the loss of her mandate, which the court will first weigh for admissibility.
- The court requested information on Brazilian prison conditions, and Brazil’s Attorney General’s Office was asked to provide a report in the coming days.
- Zambelli has been held in Rome since July after Supreme Court convictions in Brazil totaling more than 15 years, including 10 years for the CNJ systems case.
- In a separate development, Brazil’s audit court shelved an inquiry into the government’s hiring of Italian lawyers for the case, citing urgency and relevant results.
