Overview
- Paraguay’s migration agency said Silvinei Vasques was detained at Asuncion’s airport using falsified Paraguayan documents while attempting to fly to Panama with El Salvador declared as his final destination.
- Brazilian court documents say Vasques broke his electronic ankle monitor in Santa Catarina and drove a rental car toward Paraguay before his capture.
- Paraguayan authorities expelled Vasques and handed him to Brazilian federal police at the Friendship Bridge border crossing, returning him to custody.
- Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered preventive detention for Vasques following his capture, replacing earlier electronic monitoring.
- Hours later, de Moraes ordered house arrest for 10 other individuals convicted in the coup plot, including former Bolsonaro adviser Filipe Martins, with additional limits such as passport surrender and bans on visits and social media.
