一名巴西参议员周一表示，该国前情报机构负责人亚历山大·拉马热姆已被美国移民和海关执法局逮捕，目前他正请求在美国获得政治庇护。
拉马热姆同时也是前议员，他因参与2023年前巴西总统雅伊尔·博索纳罗支持者发动的政变未遂事件，于去年9月被判处16年监禁。巴西联邦警察表示，他在即将开始服刑前逃离了这个南美国家。
参议员豪尔赫·赛夫在其社交媒体账号上表示，他已通知美国驻巴西利亚大使馆，拉马热姆不应继续被羁押，因为他在国内正遭受政治迫害。赛夫未说明这位巴西前情报机构负责人被羁押的具体原因。
周一，拉马热姆的信息出现在移民海关执法局在线在押人员数据库中，但未明确其被关押地点。
“针对博索纳罗总统、他的儿子及其盟友的政治迫害，如今已波及到在异国土地上的一名当选议员，”赛夫说道。“我们在提交给美国大使馆的文件中，列出了所有足以证明并支持批准拉马热姆及其家人政治庇护申请的理由。”
由于一个月前在政变案件中被定罪，拉马热姆于去年12月被剥夺了巴西国会席位。
2025年6月9日，巴西前情报总局局长亚历山大·拉马热姆在巴西最高法院庭审2023年1月未遂政变涉案人员期间出席旁听。
周一早些时候，巴西联邦警察在一份声明中表示，移民海关执法局已逮捕“一名被巴西司法机关定罪的逃犯，其罪名包括武装犯罪团伙、未遂政变以及企图暴力废除法治”。该声明未提及拉马热姆的姓名。
巴西联邦警察还表示，这名未具名的逃犯近期因与拉马热姆相同的三项罪名被巴西最高法院判刑。
移民海关执法局和拉马热姆的律师均未回应美联社的置评请求。
“国际警务合作”
现年53岁的拉马热姆曾是一名警官，在博索纳罗执政期间担任巴西主要情报机构ABIN的负责人。
他后来当选联邦议员，但在定罪后失去了席位。
博索纳罗因这起政变阴谋正在服27年刑期，检方称其未遂的原因是未能获得军方高层的支持。
当地媒体报道称，拉马热姆通过绕过移民管控的圭亚那边境离开巴西，并持外交护照进入美国。
巴西于去年12月正式提出引渡拉马热姆的请求。
联邦警方声明称，此次逮捕是“联邦警察与美国执法部门之间国际警务合作”的成果。
居住在美国的博索纳罗盟友、网红保罗·雷纳托·菲格雷多在X平台上写道，拉马热姆是因“轻微交通违规”被拘留的。
菲格雷多——1964年至1985年巴西独裁时期最后一位担任总统的将军的孙子——表示，拉马热姆的移民身份合法，且他的庇护申请正在审理中。
“我们预计他会尽快获释，目前我们看不出有被驱逐的风险。”
在另一桩案件中，拉马热姆因涉嫌领导一个犯罪集团而接受调查，该集团利用以色列监控软件为这位极右翼领导人及其核心圈子开展非法间谍活动。
联邦警方已建议对拉马热姆及包括前总统之子卡洛斯·博索纳罗在内的约30人提起与此调查相关的指控。
前总统博索纳罗自上月因支气管肺炎被从监狱紧急送医后，因健康原因一直在家中服刑。
他已选择长子、参议员弗拉维奥·博索纳罗代表自己参加10月的选举，与卢拉对决。
数据福哈研究所周日公布的最新民调显示，在潜在的第二轮选举中，弗拉维奥·博索纳罗的选民支持率为46%，卢拉为45%。

Brazil’s former spy chief who fled country arrested by ICE in U.S., lawmaker says
April 14, 2026 / 7:11 AM EDT / CBS/AP
A Brazilian senator said on Monday that the country’s former intelligence agency chief Alexandre Ramagem was arrested by U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement and is pleading for him to get political asylum in the United States.
Ramagem, also a former lawmaker, was sentenced in September to 16 years in prison for his role in the coup attempt by supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro in 2023. Brazil’s federal police said he fled the South American nation before he would have started serving his sentence.
Sen. Jorge Seif said in his social media channels that he had informed the U.S. embassy in Brasilia that Ramagem should not remain in custody for he was being persecuted at home. Seif did not give details as to why the former Brazilian intelligence agency chief had been put under custody.
On Monday, Ramagem appeared as in custody in ICE’s online detainee database, although where he is being held was not specified.
“The political persecution against President Bolsonaro, his sons and his allies is now hitting an elected lawmaker in foreign soil,” Seif said. “In our document (to the U.S. embassy) we showed all the reasons that justify and defend the concession of political asylum to Ramagem and his family.”
Ramagem was stripped of his seat in Brazil’s congress in December as a consequence of his conviction in the coup case one month earlier.

Earlier on Monday, Brazil’s federal police said in a statement that ICE had detained “a fugitive from Brazilian justice following his conviction for the crimes of armed criminal association, attempted coup d’etat, and the attempted violent abolition of the rule of law.” The statement did not mention Ramagem by name.
Brazil’s federal police also said the unnamed fugitive was recently sentenced by the country’s top court for the same three counts as Ramagem’s conviction.
ICE and Ramagem’s lawyer did not respond a request for comment from The Associated Press.
“International police cooperation”
Ramagem, 53, is a former police officer who commanded Brazil’s main intelligence agency, ABIN, under Bolsonaro.
He was later elected a federal lawmaker, but lost his seat after his conviction.
Bolsonaro is serving a 27-year jail term over the conspiracy, which prosecutors said failed only because of a lack of support from military top brass.
Local media reported that Ramagem left Brazil via the border with Guyana, bypassing immigration controls, and entered the United States on a diplomatic passport.
Brazil formally requested the extradition of Ramagem in December.
The police statement said the arrest was the result of “international police cooperation between the Federal Police and U.S. law enforcement authorities.”
Bolsonaro ally and influencer Paulo Renato Figueiredo, who lives in the United States, wrote on X that Ramagem had been detained for a “minor traffic infraction.”
Figueiredo — grandson of the last general to preside over Brazil during the 1964-1985 dictatorship — said that Ramagem’s immigration status was legal, and that he has a pending asylum application.
“We expect him to be released as quickly as possible, at this time, we see no risk of deportation.”
In a separate case, Ramagem is under investigation for allegedly leading a criminal group which carried out illegal spying on behalf of the far-right leader and his inner circle using Israeli surveillance software.
Federal police have recommended that charges be brought against Ramagem and around 30 others, including the former president’s son Carlos Bolsonaro, in connection with this probe.
Ex-president Bolsonaro has been serving his sentence under house arrest for health reasons since last month, when he was rushed from prison to hospital with bronchopneumonia.
He has chosen his eldest son, the senator Flavio Bolsonaro, to face off against Lula in October elections.
The latest poll by the Datafolha Institute published Sunday showed Flavio Bolsonaro with 46 percent of voter intentions compared to 45 percent for Lula in a potential runoff.
