"DETERMINO a expedição de ofício ao Ministério da Justiça e Segurança Pública (Coordenação-Geral de Extradição e Transferência de Pessoas Condenadas) e ao Ministério das Relações Exteriores, para que adotem as providências necessárias à efetivação da extradição"
"A pena fixada para Zambelli foi de 10 anos de prisão em regime inicial fechado e multa no valor de dois mil salários-mínimos."
In a ruling published yesterday, Moraes responded to an official letter from the General Coordination of Extradition and Transfer of Convicted Persons, which requested guarantees about prison conditions demanded by Italian Justice. The minister stated that these guarantees were already sent to MJSP last November and subsequently forwarded to Itamaraty. ✓

"Moraes respondeu a ofício enviado na semana passada ao seu gabinete e no qual a Coordenação-Geral de Extradição e Transferência de Pessoas Condenadas pedia que o Supremo enviasse ao MJSP garantias sobre as condições em que Zambelli deve ficar presa"
Zambelli has been imprisoned at Rebibbia penitentiary in Rome since July 2025, after fleeing Brazil. The Rome Court of Appeals has already decided favorably for extradition on two occasions, but the defense presented appeals to the Court of Cassation that still await judgment. If extradition is confirmed by the Italian Justice minister, she will serve her sentence at the Federal District Women's Penitentiary. ✓
