Brazilian judge issues arrest warrant for Eduardo Bolsonaro, brother of a presidential candidate
The court said he must serve 4 years and 2 months for coercion after lobbying U.S. officials to target Brazil with sanctions and tariffs.
- On Thursday, October 8, 2026, Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered Eduardo Bolsonaro to immediately begin serving his four years and two months prison sentence, canceling his Brazilian passport.
- The conviction stems from Eduardo Bolsonaro's efforts to lobby the Trump administration for sanctions against Brazilian government members, becoming final on October 3, 2026, following a June 2026 ruling.
- Currently residing in the United States as a green card holder, Eduardo Bolsonaro faces a fine of roughly US$32,000 and an eight-year ban from public office. He maintains he is a victim of political persecution.
- Moraes issued an arrest warrant and entered the defendant into the National Imprisonment Monitoring Bank, instructing Federal Police to detain him should he return to Brazil.
- This decision arrives less than three weeks before the presidential runoff between incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro, as Justice Moraes previously led the investigation resulting in former President Jair Bolsonaro's 27-year prison sentence.
