Overview

• Justice Alexandre de Moraes authorized inspections of the interiors and trunks of all vehicles leaving Jair Bolsonaro’s residence and ordered monitoring of exterior areas adjacent to neighboring homes.
• Bolsonaro remains under house arrest with an electronic ankle monitor, and a 24-hour police presence outside his Brasilia residence had already been in place.
• Federal Police sought authorization to surveil the inside of the home, but prosecutors opposed entry and the judge declined intrusive searches for now.
• Investigators reported a drone-based assessment that identified blind spots and a possible route to the nearby U.S. Embassy, and said they found a draft asylum request to Argentina on Bolsonaro’s phone.
• The final phase of the Supreme Federal Court trial begins next week, with Bolsonaro facing charges linked to the 2022 election and a potential sentence of about 40 years, as his family denounces the stepped-up measures.
