The chairman of the Constitution and Justice and Citizenship Commission (CCJC) of the House of Representatives, federal deputy Paulo Azi (Union-BA), defined on Tuesday afternoon, 5, the steps that will be held in the process of revoking the mandate of federal deputy Carla Zambelli (PL-SP), which has been arrested in Rome, Italy, since the last day 29.
According to Azi, the probative instruction phase of the process includes the deputy’s hearing, to be performed by video conferencing, and invited witnesses. There is no date for meetings yet. The rules were agreed between him and Deputy Diego Garcia (Republicans-PR), rapporteur of the action.
Zambelli was sentenced to ten years in prison for the invasion of the National Council of Justice (CNJ) system. The ministers also determined the loss of office in the House of Representatives. Days after the sentence, the deputy left Brazil and went to the United States, where he announced that he would not return to the country. Days later, he fled to Italy, where he has double citizenship in the belief that he would be spared to serve sentence.

Hacker Walter Delgatti Neto, sentenced to 8 years and 3 months in prison for invading Brazilian justice systems with Zambelli, will be invited by deputies for hearing.
The deputy’s defense filed a claim between her and the hacker as a necessary means to “resolve any contradictions and confront the versions presented.” In the newsletter on Tuesday, the deputies clarified that they rejected the request for the confrontation between the witnesses, for “absence of regimental forecast”.
In addition to Delgatti, Flávio Vieitez Reis and Felipe Monteiro de Andrade, delegate and Federal Police Agent (PF), respectively, who worked in the case, will also be heard by parliamentarians, if they agree to participate in the hearings.

The CCJC is responsible for analyzing the cassation process and issuing a favorable opinion or contrary to the loss of mandate. In case of positive opinion, the process goes to vote in the plenary of the House. The votes of 257 deputies are required for the cassation to materialize.
