Brazil’s former President Bolsonaro ordered to wear an electronic ankle monitor, prohibited from leaving the house
Emir prohibits Bolsonaro from separating from the house at night, communicating with foreign ambassadors and diplomats or approaching embassies. The former President is also forbidden to use social media or contact with other people, including his son Eduardo Bolsonaro, who is currently living in the United States and known for his close ties to US President Donald Trump.
Bolsonaro is currently being tried in the Supreme Court and is accused of attempting a coup to overthrow the 2022 elections, defeated by leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva.
Bolsonaro, after watching the ankle, said to journalists in Brasilia, “This is a supreme humiliation.” “I never thought of leaving Brazil, I never thought of going to an embassy, but this is caused by precautionary measures.”
On Thursday, Trump wrote to Bolsonaro that his ally described his treatment by the Brazilian legal system terrible and unjustly. US President, “This hearing should end immediately!” He added that he did not approve of his confirmation through the tariff policy.
On Friday, the US State Department announced visa restrictions for Brazilian judicial officials. “President Trump clearly stated that his management will hold foreign citizens responsible for the censorship of the protected statement in the United States,” he said. “Political Witch Hunt against Jair Bolsonaro, justice of the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court Alexandre de Moraes, not only violated the fundamental rights of the Brazilians, but also created a persecution and censorship complex to Brazil’s coast to target Americans.
The Supreme Court’s restrictions on Bolsonaro are part of a second investigation against Eduardo, allegedly working to impose sanctions on US officials and Brazilian officials.
Moraes, the rapporteur of the case, said that the last actions of the former president and son were “criminal confessions” such as coercion, prevention of investigations and attacks on national sovereignty.
“Alexandre de Moraes has doubled, Edu Eduardo said, stating his order to the Supreme Court justice before the criminal cases against his father. His brother Senator Flávio Bolsonaro said in X: “Forbids a father from talking to his own son is the greatest symbol of hatred that consumes Alexandre de Moraes.”
Local air images of local publishers showed federal police vehicles outside Bolsonaro’s residence in Brasília.
Bolsonaro’s lower house, the leader of the Congress member Sóstenes Cavalcante, Associated Press, the officers’ office in the headquarters of the party, he told the officers. In Brazil, he described the operation as an “another part of the persecution of conservatives and right -wing figures”.
A lawyer for Bolsonaro immediately did not respond to his request for comments.
On Tuesday, Brazil’s prosecutor Paulo Gonet said in a report to the Supreme Court that “the evidence is open: the defendant, after the defeat of the duties and per polls, the destabilization and destabilization of the democratic law rule”.
Bolsonaro described the hearing on the X as “witch hunt ve and reiterated a term used by Trump when he came to South American defense last week.
Last week, Trump applied 50% import tax to Brazil and attributed the tariffs directly to the trial of Bolsonaro. While the US President both was in power in 2020, he hosted the former Brazilian president in Mar-A-Lago town. Trump compared Brazil’s situation on his own. On Tuesday, Trump, who spoke to journalists in the White House, repeated the claim that the hearing was “witch hunt”.
A source in the Supreme Court of Brazil, some justice, said that the US tariffs will have no effect on the hearing of Bolsonaro, which is expected to continue between August and September. The staff spoke under the condition of anonymity because there was no authority to explain the issue to the public.
