Overview

• Justice Alexandre de Moraes ruled that Bolsonaro breached July conditions requiring an ankle monitor, curfew and a ban on posting or inciting through social media.
• Federal Police carried out the order on August 4 at his Brasília residence, fitting him with an electronic ankle monitor, seizing all mobile devices and barring unauthorized visitors.
• The court cited messages broadcast via his sons’ and allies’ accounts that encouraged attacks on the Supreme Court and backed U.S. sanctions as violations of his media ban.
• Thousands of Bolsonaro supporters held nationwide protests demanding amnesty for coup-accused and voicing approval of U.S. tariffs on Brazilian goods.
• The U.S. has imposed a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports, revoked visas for STF justices and frozen assets of Justice de Moraes in response to the trial, intensifying diplomatic tensions.
