Zambelli Flees Brazil After 10-Year Prison Sentence for Hacking

Brazilian Deputy Carla Zambelli flees the country after receiving a 10+ year prison sentence for hacking. A close ally confirmed that she has no plans to return to Brazil, stating, "She won't return." Zambelli is currently in the United States and plans to travel to Europe. This follows a Supreme Court conviction for her role in spreading disinformation by ordering the infiltration of the National Council of Justice's computer systems. Zambelli also faces a second Supreme Court case related to an armed incident involving a supporter of President Lula. The incident occurred on the eve of the second round of the presidential election. This case highlights the ongoing political tensions in Brazil.
