Carla Zambelli

Carla Zambelli Salgado de Oliveira (born 3 July 1980) is a Italo-Brazilian right-wing activist and politician. Founder of the movement On the Streets, Zambelli gained notoriety through her activism in favor of the impeachment of the ex-president Dilma Rousseff. In the elections of 2018, she was elected federal deputy for São Paulo, by the Social Liberal Party (PSL).

On January 30, 2025, the São Paulo Regional Electoral Court (TRE-SP) revoked Congresswoman Carla Zambelli's mandate on the basis of political abuse and misuse of media by spreading false information about the 2022 election and for the crimes of illegal possession of a firearm and illegal coercion when, in an episode in 2022, armed, she chased a citizen on the street in Jardins, São Paulo. However, the decision is not yet final. Zambelli has the right to appeal to the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), and even if the ruling is upheld, the final revocation of her mandate still depends on a decision by the Directing Board of the Chamber of Deputies. Until all legal proceedings are concluded, she remains in office de jure, but her employment as a member of the Chamber of Deputies has been temporarily given license without pay for 127 days.

Twenty days after her sentencing for the crimes of hacking into a computer device, fraudulent misrepresentation (falsidade ideológica) and insertion of false data into the National Council of Justice (CNJ) system , she fled Brazil through the Argentine border, citing alleged political persecution by Alexandre de Moraes as her reason, leading Interpol to include her name on the red list.

Her profile has been described by some as belonging to the far-right Bolsonarist ideology.
