Overview
- The STF’s First Chamber declared Bolsonaro’s coup conviction final and authorized immediate execution of the sentence.
- Judge Alexandre de Moraes ordered Bolsonaro to begin serving time at the Federal Police headquarters in Brasilia, where he remains isolated in a small room with basic amenities.
- House arrest was revoked after Bolsonaro admitted using a soldering tool on his ankle monitor, which justices deemed deliberate tampering and a strong indication of an attempted escape.
- With the clarifying appeal deadline expired, only a limited infringement remedy remains available to the defense and it does not suspend the start of custody, according to court guidance.
- Bolsonaro’s lawyers cite medication-induced paranoia and health issues to seek a return to home confinement, as allies push a congressional amnesty while the court weighs longer‑term placement.
