An injunction from the Federal Court, issued on Tuesday evening (September 12), decided to suspend the benefits granted to former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL). According to the decision, the former president will no longer be entitled to employees, official vehicles, drivers and advisors, while he serves the sentence for which he was sentenced to 27 years and four months in prison, for attempted coup d’état.
The measure responds to a request from Belo Horizonte councilor Pedro Rousseff (PT-MG). According to the document, in the first half of 2025 alone, Bolsonaro’s expenses with eight servers reached R$521,000. Since 2023, the amount would have exceeded BRL 4 million.

For Pedro Pereira Pimenta, substitute judge of the 8th Federal Civil Court, the Treasury continues to impose expenses on the former president, even if Bolsonaro is serving his sentence, initially under closed regime, at the Federal Superintendence of Police, in Brasilia. According to the decision, maintaining benefits would be “an affront to the principles of legality and administrative morality”.
This measure, which must be respected urgently, does not exonerate the responsibility of the authorities to guarantee the physical integrity of Jair Bolsonaro while respecting the closed regime.
