Italian court concludes hearing on Zambelli's new extradition request; decision comes this Wednesday
The Italian court held a hearing this Wednesday (1st) to discuss the extradition request made by Brazil of former deputy Carla Zambelli (PL-SP). The result should be announced by the end of the day.
➡This is a new case against the former deputy. In May, the Italian court annulled Zambelli's first extradition request to Brazil. The decision of the Supreme Court of Cassations - the last instance of the Italian Justice - overturned the previous sentence, of the Italian Court of Appeals, and she was released.
The Federal Supreme Court (STF) sent a single extradition request to Italy, but the Italian Court decided to separate the cases. Therefore, despite having a favorable decision in the first case, she can still be sent back to Brazil to serve the sentences she was sentenced to.
The case involves a sentence of 5 years and 3 months in prison for illegal possession of a firearm and illegal restraint.
The episode occurred on the eve of the second round of the 2022 elections. On the occasion, the then deputy chased, armed, a man through the streets of the Jardins neighborhood, in São Paulo (SP), after a political discussion.
