[4] 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.

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.

The photograph mentioned by Zambelli as evidence was later shown to have been taken in 2017, in the state of São Paulo, and was part of an investigation of a case of life insurance fraud.

[13] Despite its potential negative health side effects, Zambelli has praised the drug on multiple occasions, and attributed the First Lady Michelle Bolsonaro's recovery of COVID-19 to hydroxychloroquine.

After extensive clinical investigation, the medical team that has been taking care of the deputy came to the conclusion that she did not have the infection due to COVID-19 [...] The diagnosis was deep endometriosis and treatment has begun.

[16] In March 2022, Zambelli launched a website to provide resources for those who did not wish to receive the COVID-19 vaccination, citing an excerpt for Brazil's Civil Code stating that "no one can be compelled to submit, at the risk of life, to medical treatment or surgical intervention.

Zambelli was filmed on the eve of the November 2022 presidential elections, in Jardins, a neighborhood in the central area of the capital of São Paulo, entering a bar with a revolver in hand.

[25] In September 2019, Veja magazine reported Zambelli used her political influence to have her son get in Colégio Militar de Brasília [pt], without having to go through the selection process.

Opposing deputies proposed revoking her mandate as well as charging her with breaking a federal law that prohibits anyone to bear guns within 24 hours of any national election.
