Overview
- Bolsonaro is now confined in a 12-square-meter room inside the Federal Police headquarters in Brasília, separated from other detainees.
- The First Panel of the Supreme Federal Court confirmed preventive detention after he tried to damage his ankle monitor with a soldering tool, which the court treated as a flight risk.
- The court declared the case closed and the verdict definitive, opening execution of the 27-year, 3-month sentence for leading a plot to block the 2022 transfer of power.
- His defense argues the monitor incident stemmed from medication-induced paranoia, is seeking a return to home confinement on health grounds, and says it will pursue extraordinary remedies.
- Political allies, including his son Flávio and the Liberal Party, are pushing a congressional amnesty for those convicted of golpismo, while co-defendant Anderson Torres is jailed and Alexandre Ramagem is cited as a fugitive in the United States.
