An Argentine judge ordered the arrest of 61 people sought by Brazil for alleged involvement in the ransacking of its capital early last year, according to a local newspaper, just as the presidents of both countries head for a potentially awkward encounter at the G-20 summit.

Argentina has ordered the arrest of 61 Brazilian citizens wanted in their home country for participating in the 2023 storming of government buildings in Brasilia by supporters of far-right former President Jair Bolsonaro, an Argentine source said on Saturday.

Many Bolsanaro supporters are believed to have fled to Argentina following prosecutions for the Brasilia riots
