According to RT on November 22, the lawyer of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro confirmed that he had been arrested by the police.
Previously, in September 2025, the Brazilian Supreme Court sentenced Mr. Bolsonaro to 27 years in prison for plotting to overturn the results of the 2022 presidential election. The 70-year-old Brazilian politician , who denies any wrongdoing, has been under house arrest since early August and is still appealing the verdict.
Lawyer Celso Vilardi did not say why Mr Bolsonaro was detained, but the incident occurred just before supporters of the former Brazilian president planned to hold a prayer vigil near his home.
Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered Mr Bolsonaro’s arrest on November 22, citing the risk of activists obstructing police monitoring of his house arrest. The judge also pointed to evidence that the politician had tampered with his tracking device the night before, media reported.
"The gathering near former President Bolsonaro's home could pave the way for his 'final escape,'" Judge Moraes argued, adding that Mr Bolsonaro had previously considered seeking asylum at the Argentine Embassy in Brasilia.
