The Brazilian Supreme Court on Aug. 4 ordered former President Jair Bolsonaro to be placed under house arrest as he undergoes trial over an alleged plot to overturn Brazil’s 2022 election results.
In issuing the order, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes said Bolsonaro had failed to comply with restraining orders imposed on him last month, which had blocked the former president from using social media and contacting foreign officials.
