The police sent their request to the Supreme Court’s Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who remitted it to the Justice Ministry, according to the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly. One of them said the request targets 63 people, most believed to be in neighboring Argentina.
De Moraes oversees the extensive investigation into the Jan. 8 rampage in the capital, Brasilia, and has prohibited suspects and those convicted from leaving the country.
