Vigília convocada por Flávio motivou prisão preventiva de Bolsonaro

Overview

  • Federal Police executed the warrant early Saturday and took the former president to the agency’s Superintendence in Brasília, where he is held in a reserved room.
  • Minister Alexandre de Moraes pointed to a 12:08 a.m. ankle‑monitor violation, repeated breaches of prior measures, and a vigil urged by Flávio Bolsonaro that could provide cover for an escape, including toward nearby embassies.
  • The order requires no handcuffs or media exposure, continuous medical care, and strict control of visits, with access limited to lawyers and medical staff unless the STF authorizes otherwise.
  • The custody is preventive and does not begin the 27‑year sentence from his September conviction over the 2022 plot, with defense filings still pending.
  • A videoconference custody hearing is set for Sunday and the STF First Panel will review the order on Monday, as congressional allies condemn the move and social media floods with memes such as “Feliz dia 22.”
