The police asked for these people to be sent back‚ as told by people who know about it The court told the Justice Ministry to pass this on to the Foreign Ministry‚ who will ask Argentina

We need to identify where these individuals are and their status in Argentina before deciding on extradition

Earlier this year it was found that 50 to 100 Bolsonaro fans ran away to Argentina after Javier Milei became president there about 10 months ago These people are in trouble for causing problems and trying to overthrow the government

Most of them have already been judged by the Supreme Court and might go to jail for up to 17 years The Brazilian police asked Argentina to find out where they are and whats going on with them The people who ran away cant move around freely in Argentina
