Bolsonaro’s house arrest in August was also prompted by Flavio’s post. He remembers

The decision to arrest former President Jair Bolsonaro on Saturday 22nd is the second in which Minister Alexandre de Moraes uses the position of Senator Flavio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) to support him. As in the order issued on Saturday, which cites a video of the senator calling for a vigil at the door of his father’s apartment, in the house arrest he ordered on August 4, a video of the former president’s son published on the networks was also the motive.

At the time, the decision to keep Bolsonaro at home came after Bolsonaro spoke at a demonstration in Copacabana. Bolsonaro spoke by phone with his son, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), who posted the letter online. At the demonstration in São Paulo, federal MP Nicolas Ferreira (PL-MG) also featured Bolsonaro in a video call. Moraes had decided that Bolsonaro could not use the networks, even through third parties.

“Defendant Jair Messias Bolsonaro acted unlawfully, addressed demonstrators gathered in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, and knowingly and knowingly produced pre-made material for his supporters to further attempt to coerce the Federal Supreme Court and obstruct justice, to the point that the phone call with his son, Flavio Nantes Bolsonaro, was published on Instagram,” Moraes said at the time.

Now, in the decision determining Bolsonaro’s summons to the federal police oversight body, Moraes once again used a post by Flavio. According to the minister, the protest called by the senator on Saturday, at seven in the evening, will increase the risk of Bolsonaro escaping.

“It should be noted that the news regarding the aforementioned summoning by Flavio Bolsonaro has been published in the media, as indicated in the above-mentioned IPJ. The information provided highlights the concrete possibility that the protest will take place on a large scale, with hundreds of supporters of the former president concentrated in the vicinity of his residence, and extend for several days, in a similar way to the demonstrations stimulated by the criminal organization in the vicinity of military installations, especially at the end of the year 2022, with unforeseen effects, developments and consequences,” he says. Moraes, who also cites an electronic ankle bracelet violation at 0:08 a.m. Saturday.
