Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro led a massive motorcyclist rally on July 29 in Brasília, his first time participating in a mass event after the Federal Supreme Court imposed injunctions on him amid a trial in which he faces charges of an alleged coup d'état.

On July 29, Bolsonaro arrived around 3 p.m. at Granja do Torto, the official residence of the Brazilian presidency, which had been established as the meeting point for the annual Moto Week event.
