Supreme Court Orders New Investigation into Brazilian Deputy Carla Zambelli

Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has authorized a new investigation into federal deputy Carla Zambelli (PL-SP) for alleged obstruction of justice. This follows Moraes' earlier order for Zambelli's preventive detention. Zambelli, who recently left Brazil, claims in interviews that her Italian citizenship protects her from extradition and that she is "untouchable in Italy." Moraes views this statement as an attempt to circumvent Brazilian law. Zambelli is being investigated for potential offenses of coercion during legal proceedings and obstruction of a criminal investigation linked to an organized crime group. The new legal action is based on Zambelli's recent statements and actions interpreted as efforts to influence ongoing STF processes. The Federal Police will conduct the investigation under the Supreme Court's supervision. The situation highlights the ongoing tensions within Brazilian politics and the legal challenges faced by the government.
