US EditionBrazilian Revelers at Rio’s Pride March Rejoice After Bolsonaro’s Preemptive Jailing
Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes cited flight risk and ankle monitor tampering; Bolsonaro’s 27-year sentence for coup attempt underpins the decision, escalating US-Brazil tensions.
- This year, Supreme Court justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered Jair Bolsonaro to a Federal Police cell after he was under electronic monitoring and linked to a 27-year sentence.
- Moraes cited two risks: reports Bolsonaro burned his ankle monitor with a soldering iron and plans for a supporters' night vigil near his gated community.
- For months the Trump administration has piled pressure on Brazil’s judiciary, imposing human-rights sanctions and raising tariffs on Brazilian exports, while Christopher Landau posted on X calling Moraes `a sanctioned human rights abuser` and the US Embassy in Brazil reposted it in Portuguese.
- The transfer complicated Lula's efforts to secure a softer U.S. tariff stance, transforming a domestic court fight into an international clash and intensifying sharply divided reactions from Bolsonaro's camp and Brazilian commentators.
- It now pits a powerful judge in Brasília against hostile Washington, as Alexandre de Moraes faces recurring clashes with U.S. officials in US-Brazil relations.
