Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Brazil's Top Court Places Bolsonaro Under House Arrest Amid Coup Plot Trial
Caption: Brazil's Top Court Places Bolsonaro Under House Arrest Amid Coup Plot Trial. Brazil's Supreme Court has placed former President Jair Bolsonaro under house arrest as he faces trial for allegedly plotting to overturn the 2022 election results. Justice Alexandre de Moraes, recently sanctioned by the U.S., issued the order, accusing Bolsonaro of violating prior court restrictions and attempting to involve U.S. President Trump. Bolsonaro is banned from using a phone or receiving visitors, except for his legal team. His lawyers are appealing the decision, denying any misconduct. The U.S. State Department criticized the move, claiming Moraes is weaponizing institutions to silence opposition. Trump, who backs Bolsonaro, has imposed 50% tariffs on Brazilian imports and hinted at more. Despite legal troubles, Bolsonaro still holds strong support, as seen in large weekend protests. Meanwhile, Brazilian courts are moving swiftly—unlike in Trump's U.S. cases—already banning Bolsonaro from running for office until 2030.
