Brazil Court Suspends Visits to Ex-President Bolsonaro Amid Election RestrictionsPreviousNext

Brazil's Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has suspended visits to former President Jair Bolsonaro for 30 days amid a family dispute involving a letter supporting Bolsonaro's presidential campaign. Bolsonaro, sentenced to over 27 years for plotting a coup after the 2022 election, is under humanitarian house arrest with restrictions on communication. Moraes also barred political visits and statements by Bolsonaro or through third parties until the elections conclude. Bolsonaro's son criticized the ruling as election interference.
