Back to EpisodesBrazil's Ex-Spy Chief Freed in US
Description
Brazils former spy chief, Alexandre Ramagem, has been released by ICE in the US after being detained for his role in a coup attempt to keep ex-President Bolsonaro in power. Ramagem, a fugitive in Brazil, was granted asylum by Bolsonaros son Eduardo, who praised top US officials for treating him like a hero. Ramagem faces a sixteen-year prison sentence and is also probed for allegedly using spies to target critics of the former president. Brazils supreme court has asked for his extradition, and President Lula insists he must return to serve his sentence. Trump has previously backed Bolsonaro, and eyes are on whether Ramagem will stay in the US or face extradition.
