Brazilian Court Blocks Carla Zambelli's Assets and Social Media

Brazilian Supreme Court Orders Blocking of Carla Zambelli's Assets and Social Media Accounts Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) issued a sweeping order on June 4, 2025, to block the assets and social media accounts of federal deputy Carla Zambelli. Zambelli, who was recently convicted to ten years in prison and stripped of her mandate, fled the country following the verdict. The order, issued by STF Minister Alexandre de Moraes, also targets Zambelli's associates and family members. "The sanctions are intended to prevent Zambelli from using her resources to evade justice and continue spreading misinformation," a source close to the STF stated. The blocked assets include bank accounts, access to Pix (Brazil's instant payment system), real estate, vehicles, boats, and aircraft. Social media accounts across various platforms are also affected. The comprehensive nature of the order underscores the gravity of Zambelli's conviction and the court's determination to enforce the ruling. This decision highlights the ongoing tensions in Brazil's political landscape and the power of the STF in upholding the rule of law.
