Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was included in a domestic arrest for violating the ban on social media, who increased the dramatic distance between the court and the far right politician accused of planning the coup.
Meanwhile, Bolsonaro stated that he was referring to the arrest command and further stated that he was surprised by the command because he did not break the order to restrict.
Bolsonaro, a close ally of US President Donald Trump, is currently facing a court at the Supreme Court that after his defeat in the presidential election in 2022 he tried to stay in Luiz Lula da Silva.
It was last month that the court ordered him to wear ankle monitor and impose a ban on using social media after the claim that he was trying to interfere with the court through provocative online statements that his sons and supporters intensified.
According to the ban, the third parties are forbidden to share its public notes.
On Sunday, the Allies Bolsonaro (70) resisted the court order by broadcasting a living call between the former Captain of the Army and his son at the Solidarity Rally in Rio de Janeiro, one of several held in Brazil.
The Supreme Court judge Alexandre de Moraes responded furiously and said on Monday that the judiciary would not allow the defendant to “treat him as a fool” because of his “political and economic power”.
He criticized Bolsonaro’s “repeated failure” to observe the restriction of the court, ordered him to be arrested in his house in the capital of Brasilia.
He also banned the former country leader (2019–2022) to receive visitors, except for his lawyers and the use of any mobile phones.
The new measures are expected to be met with Fury in Washington.
Last week, Trump has already deposited massive tariffs in Brazil and suppressed Moraes for what he called “Witch Hunting” against Bolsonaro.
Trump’s pressure campaign, including 50 percentage tariffs on a series of Brazilian goods, including coffee, brought it to the Bolsonaro conservative base.
At the Sunday gatherings, some demonstrators waved us with flags or held the brand reading “Thank you Trump”.
Bolsonaro himself did not participate in the assembly after the Supreme Court was ordered to stay at home at night and weekends during the trial.
In court proceedings, they face a great imprisonment that is expected to be closed in the coming weeks.
The crusader Moraes became the character of hatred on Brazilian and US law to fight on the extreme right.
He has repeatedly encountered Bolsonaro and the owner of X Elon Musk, who is accused of not fighting misinformation.
