The Supreme Court of Brazil ordered former President Jair Bolsonaro, who served from 2019 to 2023, to be placed under house arrest due to his alleged involvement in financing a scheme to obstruct justice from the United States. Bolsonaro was initially subject to restrictions including limited visits, cellphone use, and social media access. However, Justice Alexandre de Moraes later authorized Bolsonaro to receive visits from family members and deputies without prior permission. Bolsonaro has appealed the house arrest order. In response to Bolsonaro's detention, pro-Bolsonaro deputies attempted to block a congressional session, leading to tensions and confrontations in the Chamber of Deputies. Hugo Motta, president of the Chamber, threatened to suspend deputies obstructing legislative work for up to six months and ordered the Legislative Police to expel those paralyzing parliamentary activities. The session was marked by disputes between government and opposition deputies, with Motta emphasizing the importance of democracy and adherence to constitutional rules. Following the disruptions, five deputies involved in the occupation of the plenary were recommended for suspension, including Marcel Van Hattem, Julia Zanatta, Marcos Pollon, Camila Jara, and Zé Trovão. Bolsonaro received a visit from São Paulo Governor Tarcísio de Freitas at his residence in Brasília during his house arrest. The legal proceedings against Bolsonaro relate to accusations of attempting a coup, with potential sentences exceeding 40 years in prison.
