Overview
- Justice Alexandre de Moraes of the Supreme Federal Court ordered home detention for ten people convicted in the Bolsonaro-linked effort to subvert the 2022 runoff.
- Federal Police executed the warrants across Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Espírito Santo, Paraná, Goiás, Bahia, Tocantins and the Federal District.
- The ruling replaces prior precautionary measures with confinement at home under active geolocation and requires surrender of passports, suspension of firearm permits, and a ban on social media, visits and contact with other suspects.
- The escalation came after Silvinei Vasques removed his ankle monitor, entered Paraguay under another identity, was detained at Asunción’s airport and was expelled back to Brazil.
- Those affected include former adviser Filipe Martins, whose attorney said they will appeal, and Bolsonaro remains in custody on a 27-year sentence as he recovers from hernia surgery in a Brasília hospital.
