- Justice Alexandre de Moraes issued the decision, and Federal Police executed the home-confinement orders across multiple states including Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and the Federal District.

- The ten are convicted figures whose sentences remain under appeal, including seven Army members and former Bolsonaro adviser Filipe Martins.
