Brazil’s Federal Police Arrest Former President Bolsonaro

The same justice who oversaw the case on Bolsonaro’s attempt to keep the presidency in 2022 ordered his preemptive arrest after saying Bolsonaro's ankle monitor was violated around midnight.

Bolsonaro's lawyers said in a statement that this did not take place.

A report by custody agents released later in the day—and reviewed by The Associated Press (AP)—said Bolsonaro admitted to using a soldering iron to try to open the device. In a court video also seen by AP, Bolsonaro is heard admitting to such an attempt. The footage shows that the ankle monitor’s cap is heavily damaged.

Bolsonaro, 70, who's been under house arrest, was ordered to wear the device after being deemed a flight risk.

The preemptive arrest of Bolsonaro will be discussed on Monday by the five-justice Supreme Court panel that convicted and sentenced him to prison.
