Moraes Schedules Bolsonaro Visits by Governors as Prison Ruling Nears

The court-approved meetings come as Bolsonaro’s appeals near resolution, raising the prospect that his 27-year sentence will start soon.

Overview

  • STF minister Alexandre de Moraes authorized a roster of visits to Jair Bolsonaro during house arrest, including governors Cláudio Castro, Ronaldo Caiado and Tarcísio de Freitas, plus deputy Guilherme Derrite.
  • The schedule runs from November 24 to December 11, with Castro on November 26, Derrite on December 1, Caiado on December 9 and Tarcísio on December 10.
  • Bolsonaro has been confined at home since early August and all visitors require Moraes’s consent, according to the court orders reported by the outlets.
  • Reports from the First Panel indicate a formed majority to reject Bolsonaro’s appeal, and Moraes is weighing custody location, with the Papuda complex cited as a likely option.
  • Allies describe the visits as urgent opportunities for political coordination and for discussions tied to security policy, including the contested Antifacção bill now under debate in Congress.
