00:01Brazil's Supreme Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes has just ordered that far-right
00:06former President Jair Bolsonaro be placed under house arrest in Brasilia for repeatedly
00:12violating the terms and conditions of the precautionary measures that were set in place
00:17on July 19th when he was judged by the court to be a flight risk and forced to wear an
00:24electronic ankle monitor and stay off of social media.
00:28Now, for the past couple of weeks, Bolsonaro has repeatedly ignored orders to stay off
00:33of social media.
00:34He hasn't posted on his own account, but he's repeatedly posted incendiary language inciting
00:40violence against Brazil's Supreme Court and its ministers on the social media accounts
00:45of his three sons and friends and of political allies.
00:50Now, the court has already announced that the final judgment for the coup plotting case,
00:55which has resulted in the indictments of former President Bolsonaro and 32 of his cronies,
01:01will take place in September.
01:02This means for the next couple of weeks, Bolsonaro is confined to his house, he can only receive
01:07visits from lawyers and family members, and the federal police swept his house beforehand,
01:12removed all of the cellular devices.
01:14Because he's definitely not going to be able to post on social media anymore until the final
01:20day of sentencing, whereas he's expected to face a prison sentence of up to 40 years for
01:26his involvement in a plot to enact a military coup to prevent Lula da Silva from taking office
01:33office as president in January 2023.
