Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has begun serving a 27-year prison sentence for his involvement in a coup attempt, much to the surprise of many in Brazil. Supreme court justice Alexandre de Moraes ruled that Bolsonaro will remain in custody after being arrested on Saturday for attempting to break free from house arrest. Bolsonaro’s claims of ‘hallucinations’ were dismissed by Justice de Moraes, who ordered his pre-emptive arrest. Bolsonaro is being held at the federal police headquarters in a 12-square-metre room equipped with basic amenities. His lawyers’ request for house arrest based on health concerns was denied.
