Extradition trial of scammers in Argentina is postponed at the request of AGU
The extradition trial of the five Brazilians convicted of the scammer attacks of January 8, 2023 and who are arrested in Argentina was postponed to July 8, after the request of the Attorney General of the Union (AGU).
The hearing was initially scheduled for next Tuesday (24), but was rescheduled after AGU requests its own representation in the judicial session.
According to the calculation of CNNArgentine federal judge Daniel Rafecas complied with the Brazilian request. Until then, the extradition process was represented only by Argentine prosecutor Carlos Rivolo, from the request of STF Minister Alexandre de Moraes.

The hearing will decide the future of five Brazilians convicted by the Supreme Court (STF), who fled to Argentina and asked for refuge:
• Joelton Gusmão de Oliveira
• Rodrigo de Freitas Moro Ramalho
• Joel Borges Correa
• Wellington Luiz Firmino
• Ana Paula de Souza
Penalties range from 13 to 17 years in prison for crimes such as coup, violent abolition of the Democratic Rule of Law and Armed Criminal Association. They were arrested by the Argentine court at the end of 2024, following the issuance of arrest warrants by Rafecas, at the request of the Supreme Court.
Second change in the date of the audience
This is the second time the audience has been postponed. The first session was scheduled for June 18, but was transferred because it coincided with the date when former President Cristina Kirchner should attend the court in the same building where Judge Rafecas would act.
Now, with the AGU’s request, the trial has been resigned to July 8, when it should be defined if the five Brazilians will be extradited or will receive asylum.
