Brazil judge orders round-the-clock surveillance of ‘flight risk’ Bolsonaro | Jair Bolsonaro
Jair Bolsonaro decided on a Supreme Court justice to prevent the former President of Brazil from escaping from the beginning of the hearing, which could be sentenced to more than 40 years in prison.
The far -right leader has been wearing an electronic ankle label since mid -July and has been under house arrest since the beginning of August. However, last Monday, the prosecutor asked the Supreme Court to tighten the 70 -year -old surveillance, and the Federal police reported that he had even prepared a political asylum demand in Argentina.
Inside Tuesday’s decisionJustice Alexandre de Moraes admitted that it was a “flight risk ve and ordered Bolsonaro to watch the Brasília mansion 24 hours a day.
Moraes said that civil servants should be “secretly” without entering the former president’s house or disturbing the neighborhood.
The hearing, including high -ranking military officers, was accused of leading a coup attempt to overthrow the result of the 2022 elections, including the extreme right leader and the closest assistants, is planned to begin next Monday.
Although Bolsonaro rejects the charges, many legal experts argue that evidence against him has given faith and a serious punishment.
Running in parallel in the High Court is another case in which Bolsonaro and his son Congress Eduardo Bolsonaro are under investigation to prevent trials and their justice for the pressure of the former president.
In this case, Moraes first ordered Bolsonaro to wear an electronic ankle label and then argued that the former president had challenged court orders such as staying away from social media.
In the decision of Tuesday, Moraes wrote that Eduardo’s activity was “intensified” as the hearing approached, and that his continuous actions show the risk of flight on the Bolsonaro side of the Bolsonaro side, including when he was based on abroad.
Last week, the Federal Police said that they found a document on Bolsonaro’s mobile phone dated February 2024, which includes a request for political asylum against Argentina President Javier Millei.
Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva, a leading congress from the leftist Labor Party, approached the Federal Police, saying that Bolsonaro plans to make asylum in the US Embassy near the mansion.
Eduardo Bolsonaro boasts of being responsible for convincing to bring 50% tariffs to Brazil for retaliation for the case against Bolsonaro in the United States and US President Donald Trump since March.
The pressure led to the US to be given to justice that deals with the case – most importantly, against Moraes, who were normally reserved for the perpetrators of serious human rights violations.
Also on Tuesday, Lula, Trump’s “The world’s emperor behaves as if it were chosen“And to Eduardo”Treacherous for homeland”.
