Brazil’s Top Court Bars Senator Bolsonaro From Visiting His Father
The ban may hinder Flavio Bolsonaro’s presidential campaign as the court said the shared letter violated Jair Bolsonaro’s house arrest terms.
- On Monday, Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre barred Senator Flavio Bolsonaro from visiting his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, for 90 days following a letter disclosure.
- Moraes determined the letter, shared on social media by Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, violated terms of Jair Bolsonaro's house arrest; the ex-president was sentenced last year to over 27 years in prison for plotting a coup against President Luiz Inacio Lula.
- Written amid a rift between Senator Flavio Bolsonaro and Michelle Bolsonaro, the letter urged supporters to "to set aside any differences, and have everyone commit to supporting" his son's presidential campaign.
- The visitation ban could hinder Senator Flavio Bolsonaro's bid for the presidency against President Luiz Inacio Lula, though neither he nor representatives for his father immediately responded to requests for comment.
- Brazil's presidential election features a first round scheduled for Oct. 4 and a potential runoff for Oct. 25, while Moraes reinforced that house arrest terms include a ban on social media use, directly or through third parties.
