Brazilian former president, Bolsonaro, was taken into custody by the police several days before his expected imprisonment due to concerns raised by the Supreme Court. The decision was made after Bolsonaro’s ankle monitor was breached early in the morning, suggesting a potential escape plan. The Court expressed worries about the possibility of him using a demonstration organized by his son as a distraction to flee. This event was scheduled to happen outside Bolsonaro’s residence, creating a risk of public disorder and complicating his arrest. The Court believed that the demonstration could grow in size and pose unpredictable consequences.
