In September 2017, the Italian government asked President Michel Temer to review Brazil's decision concerning Battisti.
At the end of last year, the Attorney General 's Office (PGR) asked the STF to give priority to the trial likely to result in extradition.
A month after the PGR's request, Minister Luiz Fux ordered the arrest of the Italian and paved the way for extradition in early December.
