The Supreme Court of Brazil on Monday ordered the former President of the country to be sent to the house arrest. He is accused of conspiring to stay in power after defeat in the 2022 elections. This matter is in discussion all over South America, especially when the trade war between the US and Brazil is also getting faster.
Supreme Court Justice Alexander D Mores, who is monitoring the case, said in his order that 70 -year -old Bolsonaro violated the security instructions already implemented by the court. He posted content on social media through accounts of his three MP sons, which was against the rules. On Sunday, Bolsonaro addressed his supporters at Rio de Janeiro with his son and senator Flavio Bolsonaro’s mobile phone.
