Argentina Pursues Arrests of Brazilian Rioters Linked to 2023 Coup Attempt
TL;DR Summary
Argentina has issued arrest warrants for 61 Brazilians involved in the January 2023 Brasilia riots, following an extradition request from Brazil. These individuals, supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, fled to Argentina to avoid serving their sentences. Despite political tensions, Argentina's recent policy change on asylum for convicted criminals has led to the arrests, with one fugitive already detained. The riots were seen as a coup attempt against President Lula da Silva, with Bolsonaro denying involvement.
