The best orders of the Brazil court increased security around the home of former President Bolsonaro
The judge of the Brazilian Supreme Court, Alexandre de Moraes, ordered the police on Tuesday to strengthen security around the home of Jair Bolsonaro, including 24 -hour patrols, citing the increase in the risk of theft before the final arguments of the trial of the former president.
Moraes put Bolsonaro under house arrest in a closed community in Brasilia earlier this month after having noticed that the politician had not respected the non-compliance orders intended to stop the interference of the trial.
Bolsonaro faces charges of having plotted a coup to reverse his electoral defeat in 2022, and the last arguments of the case will start at the beginning of next month. He denied the accusations.
Police strengthening is “appropriate and necessary” as the next phase of the approach, said Moraes in its decision.
The police report raises concerns: judge
He also underlined the conclusions in a recent police report as a concern that Bolsonaro could try to flee. Police found a project of a letter from Bolsonaro in 2024 requesting asylum in Argentina, and accused him as well as his son Eduardo of having tried to interfere with the trial.
Eduardo Bolsonaro, a member of the Brazilian congress now living in the United States, lobby in Washington on behalf of his father.
President Donald Trump opposed Brazil for taxes on 50%imports, saying that the trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is accused of having tried to cancel his electoral loss of 2022, “ should not take place ”.
Bolsonaro lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comments.
The defense previously declared that the request for asylum drawn up had not indicated the risk of theft, since it was a year ago, and said that Bolsonaro had not broken the restraint orders.
Moraes asked the police to avoid disturbing the daily routine of Bolsonaro and not to disturb its neighbors.
