The judge in charge of the investigations against the former president, Alexandre de Moraes, “affirmed that the decision to arrest him is due to the former president’s failure to comply with the precautionary measures imposed on him last month, including refraining from posting on social media.”
The jurist also prohibited Bolsonaro from receiving visitors, except from lawyers or individuals authorized by the Supreme Court, as well as from using cell phones directly or through third parties. This restriction also applies to visitors, who will not be allowed to take videos or photos.
The measure has sparked criticism not only from the former president’s family, but also from US President Donald Trump, who has questioned the judicial process from its inception.
