Brazil‑Italy Carla Zambelli extradition dispute

Entities: Angelo Bonelli · Carla Zambelli · Court of Appeal of Rome · National Council of Justice (CNJ) · Alexandre de Moraes

Overview

On 23 July 2026 the Italian Court of Cassation annulled the authorization to extradite former Brazilian deputy Carla Zambelli, ruling that Brazil had not supplied detailed guarantees for the specialist medical care she would require while imprisoned. The case was sent back to the Rome Court of Appeal for a fresh assessment of those guarantees. Zambelli’s whereabouts in Italy remain unclear; the last confirmed public appearance was at a church gathering in Rome on 13 July 2026. After her release from Italian custody in May, she resumed social‑media activity, announcing her mother’s pre‑candidacy for Brazil’s Chamber of Deputies, and Italian deputy Angelo Bonelli suggested she might be waiting for Brazil’s October elections in hopes of a future pardon.

A second hearing before the Court of Appeal is now pending. Zambelli remains free in Italy and has posted a video insisting her residence is known to authorities, denying fugitive status, and alleging political persecution linked to Justice Minister Alexandre de Moraes. No date has been set for the next Italian hearing, and the outcome will determine whether the extradition proceeds.
