Moraes Denies Bolsonaro Family Father's Day Visit

Overview

• Alexandre de Moraes rejected a defence request on Saturday to allow Carlos, Jair Renan and Flávio Bolsonaro to see Jair Bolsonaro on Father's Day, ruling the plea was rendered invalid by an earlier order suspending most family visits.
• Moraes's July order suspended all family and social visits to Bolsonaro for 30 days while exempting only medical, physiotherapy and lawyer visits, and he separately barred Flávio from visiting for 90 days after the public release of a handwritten letter.
• The defence had framed the Father's Day request as an exceptional humanitarian move to preserve family ties, arguing the visit would not violate detention conditions; Moraes said the existing suspension blocked that relief.
• Flávio Bolsonaro responded with emotional videos and a public letter condemning the ruling as unjust, continued campaign appearances and remains barred from visiting his father until the 90‑day period ends.
• The defence has appealed and Moraes forwarded aspects of the case to the Procuradoria‑Geral da República for comment, so the restrictions could still be altered pending the PGR opinion and further judicial steps.
