Brazilian authorities believe that the government has fulfilled all the conditions for Italy to accept the extradition request of Carla Zambelli (PL-SP), which will be judged today by the Italian courts.

However, those following the case advocate caution with regard to a favorable decision. It is understood that it is still too early to predict the outcome, because whatever happens in the Court of Appeal, the parties can appeal and only then will the Italian Ministry of Justice deliver its verdict.
In fact, the trial decision might not even be handed down this Thursday. On other occasions, the Italian court suspended the hearing to issue the decision within 24 hours, in writing or even by calling the lawyers to inform them.

One of the central points of Italian justice concerns the conditions of detention in Brazil to receive the former deputy, who resigned from her mandate in the House.
A report sent by Alexandre de Moraes to the Ministry of Justice and already transmitted by Itamaraty to the Italian authorities indicates that Zambelli will serve her sentence at the DF women’s penitentiary, known as Colmeia.
The document mentions that the penitentiary unit operates in accordance with the principles of public administration, in strict compliance with the Constitution and other standards, with continuous monitoring by supervisory bodies. It also specifies that the penitentiary has an internal structure organized into distinct wings, “guaranteeing adequate separation of profiles and meeting the specific needs of women deprived of their liberty”.
At a hearing on the 4th, the Court of Appeal postponed the decision on Zambelli’s extradition and requested guarantees on the conditions of detention in Brazil.
The Italian public prosecutor’s office ruled in favor of extradition and rejected the fact that the MP was politically persecuted.
