Brazilian Deputy Flees Amidst Prison Sentence, Sparking Outrage

Brazilian Deputy Carla Zambelli Leaves Brazil Amidst Prison Sentence: Federal deputy Carla Zambelli (PL-SP) has left Brazil for medical treatment in Europe, she announced in a recent YouTube interview. This announcement comes just 20 days after a Supreme Federal Court ruling sentenced her to 10 years in prison for her involvement in a hacking scandal. The Prosecutor General's Office (PGR) has expressed concerns about the risk of Zambelli fleeing the country. In her interview, Zambelli stated, "I've come to Europe primarily to seek medical treatment, a treatment I was already undergoing in Brazil." She also confirmed her intention to request a leave of absence from her position. The PGR's concerns stem from investigations revealing Zambelli contracted a hacker to insert false documents into the National Justice Council's systems, including a false arrest warrant against Minister Alexandre de Moraes. The incident underscores the ongoing political tensions and legal battles within Brazil's political landscape. The situation raises questions about the fairness of the legal system and the accountability of elected officials.
