Overview

• Brasília’s 6th Small Claims Court ordered Jair Bolsonaro to pay procedural costs and R$5,000 in attorneys’ fees to Guilherme Boulos’ defense within 15 days, with a 10% penalty and possible Sisbajud seizure if he fails to pay.
• The fee enforcement follows rulings that rejected Bolsonaro’s damages suit, with the judge and a appellate panel finding Boulos’ remarks covered by parliamentary immunity and freedom of expression, and some claims time-barred.
• Bolsonaro’s lawyers asked the Supreme Court to authorize phone contact and revoke his domiciliary detention, and Moraes gave the defense five days to state whether he agrees to press interviews requested by Folha, Veja and a podcast.
• Alexandre de Moraes asked the Prosecutor General’s Office to respond within five days to lawmakers’ request for Eduardo Bolsonaro’s preventive detention and suspension of pay and allowances, after the PGR denounced him for coercion.
• Prosecutor General Paulo Gonet argued that parliamentary mandates require physical presence, in an opinion on Chiquinho Brazão’s case seen as relevant to Eduardo Bolsonaro, and separately urged Justice André Mendonça to archive a Bicentennial-related probe as overlapping with the coup case.
