Overview
- Federal police said they executed a preventive arrest warrant requested by the Supreme Court and moved Jair Bolsonaro to their Brasília headquarters.
- An aide said officers took him from his home in the Jardim Botânico neighborhood at about 6 a.m. local time.
- The detention is not the final imprisonment on his September sentence, which remains under appeal with no final order issued.
- Local reports said the order aimed to maintain public order, while authorities had not released a detailed legal rationale.
- Bolsonaro had spent more than 100 days under strict house arrest in a separate case, and his allies are pressing for home confinement on medical grounds as supporters prepare rallies outside police facilities.
