STF convicts Zambelli in CNJ case

valor.globo.com (Portuguese)

The Supreme Federal Court (STF) has voted 4-0 to convict Congresswoman Carla Zambelli, potentially leading to a ten-year prison sentence and loss of her mandate. Justice Cármen Lúcia's vote solidified the conviction, joining Justices Alexandre de Moraes, Flávio Dino, and Cristiano Zanin in the ruling. The case concerns the invasion of the National Justice Council (CNJ) systems, with the final vote expected by May 16th. The prosecution alleges Zambelli directed hacker Walter Delgatti to insert a false arrest warrant against Justice Moraes. Zambelli's defense claims she is a victim of political persecution and that Delgatti acted alone.
