Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been placed under house arrest after allegedly violating a court order prohibiting his use of social media during ongoing legal proceedings. Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered authorities to confine Bolsonaro to his residence and seize his cellphone, claiming he circumvented restrictions by sharing messages through accounts of family members and allies. The ruling also limits visits from family and political associates.
