Overview
- Senator Magno Malta and Zambelli’s lawyer say she was attacked by other inmates at least twice, with some reports citing three incidents before September.
- Her defense says no formal complaint was filed with Italian authorities, but prison officials moved her to a different cell on an upper floor after requests.
- Zambelli has been detained in Rome since July 29 as Italian judges consider Brazil’s extradition bid, which the public prosecutor has supported.
- The STF First Panel nullified the Chamber’s failed vote to preserve her seat and ordered the immediate loss of her mandate, after which she formally resigned on December 14 and Adilson Barroso was summoned.
- She was convicted by the STF for involvement in the invasion of CNJ systems and faces a prison sentence and fines, alongside a separate TRE‑SP ruling that annulled her 2022 mandate and set eight years of ineligibility.
