(Reuters) - Argentina has received and is analyzing Brazil's request for the extradition of Brazilian nationals currently in the neighboring country who are linked to an alleged 2023 coup attempt, Argentine presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni said on Thursday.

"The request arrived yesterday and the corresponding areas are analyzing it," Adorni told a press conference when asked if Argentina would comply with the request. "I don't have a concrete answer to give you as it is very recent."
