Carol Solberg Cheers Bolsonaro’s Preventive Arrest on World Championship Podium

Overview

• Brazil’s Supreme Court decreed Jair Bolsonaro’s preventive detention on Nov. 22 after a Polícia Federal request that cited risk of flight.
• Investigators pointed to a supporter vigil organized by Senator Flávio Bolsonaro outside the former president’s condominium as part of the risk assessment.
• In Adelaide, Carol Solberg and partner Rebecca won beach volleyball bronze by defeating Thâmela and Vic 2–0 before Solberg declared, “Bolsonaro is in jail,” to cheers.
• Solberg’s stance continues a pattern that included a 2020 podium remark criticizing Bolsonaro, which drew a CBV repudiation and an STJD complaint from which she was later absolved.
• Poder360 reports Bolsonaro told a court he used a soldering iron on his ankle monitor but denied intent to flee, with Minister Alexandre de Moraes ordering the preventive detention and officials noting clear device damage.
