Overview
- Federal Police requested the measure, the Prosecutor General’s Office concurred, and Bolsonaro was taken to the PF superintendence in Brasília on Saturday for preventive custody.
- Moraes pointed to a recorded ankle‑monitor violation around 12:08 a.m. and a vigil called by Senator Flávio Bolsonaro as factors that could facilitate escape, noting the nearby embassy district.
- Police replaced the electronic monitor and will conduct a forensic examination of the device, with the technical report pending.
- A custody hearing is scheduled for Sunday, and the Supreme Court’s First Panel is expected to review the order in the coming days as Bolsonaro’s roughly 27‑year conviction nears the end of ordinary appeals.
- The detention order provides 24‑hour medical care and restricts visits to lawyers and medical staff without prior approval, while the defense’s bid for humanitarian house arrest was rejected in the immediate decision and allies criticize the move as disproportionate.
