STF Assigns Heredia Petition to Toffoli as She Seeks to Block Extradition and Arrest

Overview

• Brazil’s Supreme Court confirmed that Justice Dias Toffoli will be the rapporteur for Nadine Heredia’s petition filed on November 6.
• Heredia asks the court to bar any arrest, extradition, transfer of sentence to Brazil, or enforcement of international warrants against her.
• The petition seeks to extend STF rulings that deemed Odebrecht’s Drousys and My Web Day data and related executive testimonies inadmissible.
• A Peruvian court sentenced Heredia and former president Ollanta Humala to 15 years for money laundering, and Peru has issued an arrest warrant for her.
• Heredia remains in Brazil under diplomatic asylum granted in April as her lawyers argue that cooperation with Peru would rely on evidence invalidated in Brazil.
