The Italian court authorized the process in relation to the case of illegal possession of a weapon by the former deputy
A defense of former deputy Carla Zambelli stated this Thursday (16) thatand will appeal the decision of the Italian Court what authorized the extradition of the former parliamentarian in reference to the case of illegal possession of a weapon.
“It is worth noting that the case is subject to appeal, and we intend to appeal to the Court of Cassation, in the same way as was done in the other case,” said the note.
In October 2022, on the eve of the second round of elections, Zambelli argued with a supporter of then-candidate Lula (PT) on a street, in the Jardins neighborhood, in São Paulo, and chased him with a gun in hand.
On August 22nd of last year, the Federal Supreme Court (STF) condemned Zambelli to 5 years and 3 months in prison for illegal possession crimes of a weapon and illegal restraint with the use of a firearm. The score was 9 to 2 in favor of conviction.
She already had another extradition request approved, in in relation to the invasion of the National Justice Council (CNJ) systems.
Second extradition request
This is as for the departure of the former deputy from the European country. On March 26, the Italian court issued another authorization to extradite Zambelli, but in a different case, referring to the invasion of the CNJ’s electronic system, in 2023. Last month, the defense informed the Young Pan that, what happened on April 10th.
In May 2025, the STF sentenced Zambelli to 10 years in prison for the CNJ episode. According to investigations, she was the intellectual author of the invasion to issue a false arrest warrant against STF minister Alexandre de Moraes. The hacking was carried out by Walter Delgatti, who was sentenced to eight years and three months in prison and confirmed that he had carried out the work at the behest of the parliamentarian.
Escape to Italy
In July last year, Carla Zambelli was taken in Romecapital of Italy. She was trying to escape the execution of an arrest warrant issued by minister Alexandre de Moraes.
Because she has dual citizenship, Zambelli left Brazil in search of political asylum in Italy after being convicted by the STF. After escaping to Italythe Brazilian government requested the extradition of the former deputy to Brazil.
