Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro attributed his tampering with an ankle monitor to medication-induced paranoia and hallucinations. Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered Bolsonaro’s detention after over 100 days of house arrest due to flight risk concerns. Bolsonaro was sentenced to 27 years for attempting a coup. During a custody hearing, Bolsonaro explained that drugs prescribed for his hiccups made him believe the ankle monitor contained listening devices. He tampered with the device but stopped, notifying guards. Bolsonaro is detained in federal police headquarters. His lawyers advocate for humanitarian house arrest due to health issues.
