Brazil’s federal police arrested former president Jair Bolsonaro over suspicion of plotting to escape and avoid a 27-year prison sentence. The decision revealed deep divisions within the country, with supporters celebrating his arrest while others prepared a religious act in his favor. In a surprising turn of events, federal agents entered Bolsonaro’s home early Saturday under a Supreme Court Justice’s order to take him into custody in Brasilia. Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who oversaw the case, ordered the arrest after the former president’s ankle monitor was allegedly tampered with. Despite Bolsonaro’s denial, a report indicated he attempted to break the device and his admission was caught on camera. The arrest took place as Bolsonaro was deemed a flight risk and ordered to wear the monitor, which he allegedly damaged in an escape attempt. Support and protests outside the federal police headquarters ensued, with tensions rising between opposing sides.
