Brazil’s Supreme Court has ordered house arrest for former president Jair Bolsonaro, who is on trial for allegedly leading a coup attempt after losing the 2022 election.
The court’s Justice Alexandre de Moraes issued the order, saying in his decision that Bolsonaro had violated the precautionary measures imposed on him by posting content on his son’s social media channels.
