Overview
- Brazil’s top court said all appeals are exhausted, making Jair Bolsonaro’s roughly 27-year sentence for orchestrating an attempted coup final.
- Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered Bolsonaro moved from house arrest to preventive custody after a video showed him holding a soldering iron to his ankle monitor and cited an elevated flight risk.
- Bolsonaro told the court he experienced medication-induced paranoia and hallucinations and his lawyers have renewed a request for house arrest on health grounds.
- De Moraes directed that Bolsonaro begin serving his term at the Federal Police facility in Brasília, where he has been held since the weekend.
- Two convicted allies, former ministers Augusto Heleno and Paulo Sérgio Nogueira, were also taken into federal custody after their legal options ended.
