Brazil\u2019s Supreme Federal Court ordered former President Jair Bolsonaro to be placed under house arrest, citing repeated violations of court-imposed restrictions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decision, issued on Monday by Justice Alexandre de Moraes, comes amid worsening diplomatic tensions with the Trump administration over Bolsonaro\u2019s legal troubles and the recent imposition of steep tariffs on Brazilian imports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to CNN Brasil<\/a>, Moraes said Bolsonaro has \u201crepeatedly failed to comply with precautionary measures\u201d imposed during ongoing investigations. Under the new order, Bolsonaro is barred from receiving visitors\u2014except for his lawyers\u2014and may only communicate with individuals authorized by the court. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bolsonaro is also prohibited from using a cell phone, either directly or through intermediaries, after his son, Senator Fl\u00e1vio Bolsonaro, video-called him during a protest in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, CNN Brasil reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moraes reaffirmed earlier restrictions that prevent Bolsonaro from contacting ambassadors or foreign officials and prohibit his use of social media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFailure to comply with the rules of house arrest or any of the precautionary measures will result in their revocation and the immediate decree of preventive detention,\u201d the justice wrote in the ruling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The court\u2019s move follows escalating tensions between the Brazilian judiciary and the Trump administration, which announced a 50% tariff on Brazilian products beginning August 1, the highest rate currently applied to any country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Trump has publicly criticized Bolsonaro\u2019s prosecution, calling it a \u201cwitch hunt\u201d and \u201can international disgrace\u201d in a letter to Brazilian President Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva. In the message, posted to Truth Social in July, Trump also linked Bolsonaro\u2019s legal troubles and Brazil\u2019s alleged censorship efforts to his decision to impose tariffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. sanctions have also been imposed on Justice Moraes. According to NBC News<\/a>, officials cited alleged human rights violations as the basis for the sanctions, which were enacted under the Magnitsky Act\u2014a law typically used to target officials in authoritarian regimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
