A ex-deputada Carla Zambelli pediu ao Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) um salvo-conduto para que possa retornar ao Brasil com o objetivo de votar em sua mãe, Rita Luzia Zambelli Salgado, candidata a deputada federal pelo PL de São Paulo. Na peça protocolada na segunda-feira (22), a defesa afirma haver mandados de prisão em aberto contra a Zambelli e que a Justiça italiana negou a extradição dela para o Brasil, tendo considerado duvidosa a imparcialidade da Primeira Turma do STF, colegiado responsável por duas condenações contra a ex-deputada. Notícias relacionadas:Iphan tomba primeiro quilombo do RJ e revalida registros de patrimônio.Flagrante por drogas gera mais prisão preventiva do que outros crimes.TSE cria ferramenta de IA para acesso a informações sobre eleições.A defesa também apontou para o pedido de investigação contra o ministro Alexandre de Moraes no caso do Banco Master, que ainda não foi votado pela plenário do STF, o que coloca em dúvida a idoneidade do magistrado, relator dos casos de Zambelli. “Circunstâncias que recomendam a preservação cautelar da liberdade até a conclusão da apuração judicial em curso”, escreveram os advogados. A peça sustenta que, diante de todo esse quadro, Zambelli tem o direito de vir ao Brasil exercer o direito ao voto sem ser presa. “O risco de prisão no ingresso, na permanência ou na saída do País inviabiliza o exercício dessa finalidade e torna necessária a tutela preventiva da liberdade de locomoção”, disse a defesa. A ação foi enviada ao presidente do STF, ministro Edson Fachin, relator do pedido de investigação contra Moraes. Zambelli quer autorização para chegar ao Brasil no 3 de outubro, votar em 4 de outubro e embarcar de volta para a Itália no dia seguinte. Entenda A ex-deputada Carla Zambelli, ainda filiada ao PL de São Paulo, foi condenada a 10 anos de prisão pela Primeira Turma do Supremo, em 2025, pelos crimes de invasão de sistema informático e falsidade ideológica. Ela foi considerada culpada por encabeçar uma invasão aos sistemas do Conselho Nacional de Justiça (CNJ) realizada em 2022, com o objetivo de inserir neles um mandado de prisão falso contra o próprio Moraes. A motivação, segundo a condenação, foi desmoralizar o Poder Judiciário diante das eleições presidenciais iminentes. Ainda em 2025, ela foi condenada de novo pelo STF, dessa vez a 5 anos e 3 meses de prisão, com regime inicial semiaberto, por porte ilegal de arma de fogo e constrangimento ilegal. O caso está relacionado à perseguição do jornalista Luan Araújo pelas ruas de São Paulo, dias antes do segundo das eleições presidenciais de 2022. Fuga Após a primeira condenação, antes que fosse expedida a ordem para o cumprimento da pena, Zambelli se valeu do passaporte europeu para embarcar rumo aos Estados Unidos e depois para a Itália, onde pediu refúgio por perseguição política. Ela chegou a ser presa em Roma a pedido do STF, por intermédio do governo brasileiro, que pediu sua extradição imediata. A primeira instância da Justiça italiana chegou a conceder a extradição, mas a decisão acabou cassada por um tribunal de apelação, que considerou duvidosa a atuação de Moraes, por figurar como juiz e vítima no mesmo processo.
