Invasion of CNJ systems
In May 2025, the First Panel of the STF sentenced Zambelli to 10 years in prisoninitially closed. The sentence was motivated by invasion of the National Justice Council systems (CNJ). Shortly after the conviction, the former deputy left Brazil, passing through Argentina and the United States before arriving in Italy in June of the same year.

Illegal carrying of weapons and stalking
In August 2025, the STF handed down a second sentence to the former parliamentarian: five years e three months in prison. The conviction refers to the crimes of illegal possession of a firearm e illegal constraint. The case occurred on the eve of the 2022 elections, in São Paulo, when Zambelli was filmed chasing a man with a gun drawn on a public street.
Loss of mandate and arrest in Italy
In December last year, minister Alexandre de Moraes ordered the revocation of the decision of the Chamber of Deputies that maintained Zambelli’s mandate. In view of the measure, the former deputy presented her resignation from her position.
Zambelli had been in preventive detention since July 2025 at the Rebibbia Penitentiary in Rome. With Friday’s decision, she will respond to the process in freedom while the Italian Ministry of Justice evaluates, within 45 days, the final statement on the extradition request made by the Brazilian government.
