Judicial pressure on the former Brazilian President is exacerbated Jayer BolsonaroAfter ordered the judiciary to put it under strict restrictions, which included wearing an electronic bracelet and preventing it from using social media.
The decision was issued by Judge Alexander de Morais, the judge of the Federal Supreme Court, who undertakes investigations into the trial of Bolsonaro and his son, MP Eduardo Bolsonaro, against the backdrop of accusations of inciting “hostile actions” against the Brazilian state and “obstructing justice” through their communication with US officials to urge them to impose sanctions on the Brazilian judiciary.
In addition to imposing the electronic bracelet, Bolsonaro was prevented from leaving his home at specific times during the week, and he was completely prevented from communicating with diplomatic or ambassadors.
In turn, Bolsonaro described these measures when he left the Ministry of Justice in Brazilia as “the utmost humiliation”, at the same time denying his intention to leave the country or seek political asylum, despite the escalation of speculation about this.
American escalation
These developments come while the crisis escalates with Washington after the announcement of the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio The abolition of the visas of Judge Morais and all the judges participating in the trial, in a move that observers considered an unprecedented diplomatic escalation against one of the strongest justice institutions in Brazil.
“The political prosecution campaign led by Judge Morais not only violates the rights of the Brazilians, but even targets American citizens and creates a climate of repression outside the border,” Rubio said in a statement.
The American President also threatened Donald Trump By imposing customs duties of up to 50% on imports from Brazil, starting from next August, warning of an open trade war between the two countries.
“The betrayal of the homeland”
This escalation led to a strong response from the Brazilian President Lula da Silva, who described Washington’s threats to “unacceptable blackmail”, accusing Brazilian politicians of the right -wing current of “betrayal of the homeland” for supporting American measures.
He announced in a televised speech that his country “will not surrender itself to this crazy group,” referring to Bolsonaro and his allies, confirming his intention to run for a fourth term in the upcoming elections.
This trial is one of the most important political trials since the return of democracy to Brazil, as Bolsonaro is accused of inciting his supporters in the wake of his election loss in 2022, and by trying to undermine confidence in the electronic electronic system.
These cases may lead to imprisonment for more than 40 years, while continuing to confirm that he is a victim of “systematic political persecution.”
His son Eduardo lives in the United States, where he leads a political pressure campaign against the Brazilian judiciary in cooperation with symbols of the Yemeni current.
Judge De Moraya considered that the incitement by the duo Polsonaro to Washington to take hostile measures directly affects the “Brazilian state’s sovereignty.”
On Friday morning, the Brazilian police raided the residence of the former president in Brazilia, and confiscated money estimated at 14 thousand dollars and 7 thousand Brazilian riyals (equivalent to $ 1254), but Bolsonaro denied any violation, and Judge Morais described it as a “gang man in a judge’s dress”, considering that the measures taken against him “coordinated political revenge.”
