Brazil’s Supreme Court has ordered the house arrest for former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is on trial for allegedly leading a coup attempt after losing the 2022 election.
Prosecutors accuse Bolsonaro of heading a criminal organization that plotted to overturn the election, including plans to kill President Lula and a Supreme Court justice. Monday's order follows one from the top court, which last month ordered Bolsonaro to wear an electronic ankle monitor and imposed a curfew on his activities while the proceedings are underway.
