On September 11, the First Chamber of the Supreme Court, composed of judges allied with dictator Lula da Silva, sentenced Bolsonaro under the pretext of attempting to "perpetuate himself" in power with the alleged support of former ministers and high-ranking military officials, following his defeat in the 2022 elections against the current socialist leader.
The right-wing leader, 70 years old, had remained under house arrest at his home in Brasília since August 4. According to the local press, the preventive detention order issued on Saturday doesn't yet imply the start of the execution of the sentence, something that was expected in the coming weeks after the Supreme Court's initial rejection of the first appeals.
