Brazil's Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has ordered former President Jair Bolsonaro to wear an electronic ankle bracelet and barred him from approaching embassies as part of precautionary measures. The Federal Police found $14,000 at Bolsonaro's residence during the operation. Bolsonaro described the ankle bracelet order as a "supreme humiliation" in his first interview after the measure. The decision has drawn political reactions, with Bolsonaro's allies criticizing the operation and calling for amnesty, which was rejected by Congress leadership and Centrão. The Supreme Court also imposed a ban on Bolsonaro's use of social media, and a judge warned him of possible imprisonment for violating this restriction. Despite these measures, Moraes has not ordered Bolsonaro's arrest, stating that the former president committed an "isolated irregularity" and emphasizing that preventive detention requires concrete grounds. Moraes clarified that Bolsonaro is not prohibited from giving interviews. The Supreme Court's actions have attracted international media attention, highlighting the use of electronic monitoring to prevent potential flight risks. Bolsonaro must follow a strict curfew, only leaving his home between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily under the ankle bracelet monitoring. The Supreme Court reaffirmed the ankle bracelet and social media ban in late July, maintaining pressure on Bolsonaro amid ongoing legal and political tensions.
