Flávio Bolsonaro Says Jair Bolsonaro Will Not Grant Interviews Despite STF Green Light

Lawyers advise against appearances to avoid risks under court‑supervised house arrest.

Overview

  • Senator Flávio Bolsonaro said the former president will not give interviews for now, citing guidance from his legal team.
  • He outlined conditions for any future appearance, saying it should be live with assurances that precautionary measures will not be toughened based on his answers.
  • Minister Alexandre de Moraes authorized a potential appearance on the Café com Ferri podcast and gave the defense five days to state whether Bolsonaro wishes to participate.
  • Moraes also asked Bolsonaro’s lawyers to indicate his position on interview requests from Folha de S.Paulo and Veja after the outlets petitioned the Supreme Federal Court.
  • The podcast’s producer requested tailored adjustments to allow a recorded, not live, interview and sought authorization to credential a filming crew, while Bolsonaro remains in home detention in Brasília after a 27-year, three-month STF sentence.
