BRASILIA (Reuters) -Brazil's Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes instructed the government to request the extradition of 63 Brazilian nationals currently in Argentina who are linked to an alleged 2023 coup attempt, the court said on Wednesday.
On Jan. 8, 2023, a week after President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's inauguration in 2023, thousands of supporters of former far-right President Jair Bolsonaro stormed and ransacked Brazil's Congress, Supreme Court and presidential palace.
