Bolsonaro Placed Under House Arrest by Brazil’s Supreme Court

Former President Jair Bolsonaro, whose case has partly motivated President Trump’s tariffs on Brazil, was ordered to remain under house arrest as he awaited trial.

Brazil’s Supreme Court on Monday ordered the house arrest of Jair Bolsonaro, tightening the leash on the former president accused of overseeing a plot to cling to power after losing the 2022 election.

The new measures threatened to escalate the biggest diplomatic crisis in decades between the United States and Brazil, set off by President Trump’s decision to defend Mr. Bolsonaro and slap 50 percent tariffs on some goods from Brazil, Latin America’s largest economy, unless it dropped the case against the former president.

Mr. Bolsonaro, who was ordered last month to wear an ankle monitor while he awaited trial, had already been told to remain at home most hours, stay away from foreign embassies and keep off social media platforms.

In the new ruling on Monday, Alexandre de Moraes, the Supreme Court justice who is overseeing his case, said that Mr. Bolsonaro had violated some of those terms, indirectly using social media through the accounts of his allies and sons.

A day earlier, one of those sons, a Brazilian senator, shared a video in which the former president virtually addresses his supporters in Rio de Janeiro.

In his decision, Justice Moraes said that this violation and others were “deliberate” and made it necessary to impose more serious restrictions on Mr. Bolsonaro.

“Disobedience of the precautionary measures demonstrates contempt for judicial decisions and compromises the effectiveness of the investigation and the credibility of the Judiciary itself,” Justice Moraes wrote in his order.

The judge also ordered the Brazilian police to seize Mr. Bolsonaro’s cellphone and limited visits to his home, except by his close family and lawyers....

I don’t look at burning down the Amazon as stable.
Trump stabilized Brazilian markets for beef and beans.

More from the OP's nytimes article:

...Mr. Trump has called the case against Mr. Bolsonaro, an ally with a strikingly similar political style to his own, a “witch hunt” and demanded that Brazil drop the criminal charges against him.

On Monday, the United States, though the bureau overseeing diplomacy and foreign policy across the Americas, condemned Justice Moraes’ order and vowed to “hold accountable all those aiding and abetting sanctioned conduct.”

“Putting even more restrictions on Jair Bolsonaro’s ability to defend himself in public is not a public service,” the State Department’s Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs posted on X. “Let Bolsonaro speak!

Last week, he made good on threats to apply 50 percent tariffs on some Brazilian products, even though the United States has carried a trade surplus with Brazil for years. The politically motivated tariffs against Brazil are the highest of any levy that Mr. Trump has imposed this year, highlighting his willingness to use economic tools to settle personal scores.

Mr. Trump has also targeted [Brazil Supreme Court] Justice Moraes through the highly unusual use of some of the harshest human rights sanctions that the U.S. government has in its arsenal, accusing him of censoring conservative voices online....

How do our MAGA posters feel about the President's using Executive Office powers to "settle personal scores"?

Too little too late by trumpie with BRICS nations:
Lost agricultural markets to Brazil, permanently;
Failing to get India to stop financing Russia’s war on Ukraine.
Failure to get Russia to stop ethnically cleansing Ukraine.

Ukraine and Gaza are Trump wars.
