Zambelli has cost the Chamber R$ 521 thousand since fleeing Brazil

As Zambelli continues ‘in the exercise of her mandate,’ all the structure funded by public resources remains operational. According to the congresswoman’s press office, all day-to-day functions are carried out by the office even when the parliamentarian is absent. This includes monitoring the execution of amendments, the progress of bills presented by her, and even political representation in the state. The deputy had her salary and office funds blocked. With two final convictions by the Supreme Court totaling more than 15 years in prison, Zambelli had her access to the $ 46.3 thousand monthly salary and office fund blocked by Minister Alexandre de Moraes. Team was cut and modified. Since the parliamentarian’s removal from office, her office has cut employees —17 at different periods— and was even led by substitute José Olímpio (PL), who received authorization from the House to make changes to the team. Personnel expenses totaled $1.1 million since the beginning of the year. CCJ decided against impeachment. The arrest warrant and fleeing the country were not enough for the Chamber of Deputies to vote for the deputy’s impeachment. The process halted at the House Committee on Constitution and Justice, which gave a negative opinion on the loss of her mandate. This Thursday, the Italian Justice postponed the decision on the extradition request against the deputy to December 18. Lawyer Angelo Alessandro Sammarco requested that the Rome Court of Appeal review new documents — including the opinion against Zambelli’s impeachment at the Chamber, which he uses as a defense argument to prevent her extradition. ‘Medical treatment’ escape. She left Brazil on June 3. Initially, Zambelli said she was seeking medical treatment, without specifying her whereabouts. Subsequently, responding to a request from the PGR (Attorney General’s Office), Moraes decreed her preventive arrest.
