The Supreme Court of Brazil on Monday (August 4) issued an order for house arrest for former President Jair Bolsonaro. A serious allegation has been leveled against him. According to a report by ‘The Guardian’, Bolsonaro has been accused of plotting a coup in the country. The US has condemned this order of the Supreme Court. The important thing is that the Supreme Court order has come at a time when the trade war between the US and Brazil has intensified.
Justice Alexander de Moraes said through his order that Bolsonaro had violated the ban imposed on the use of social media last month, he was also ordered to wear an electronic ankle tag. He had posted content through the social media accounts of his three MP sons, which was against the rules. On Sunday (August 3), Bolsonaro addressed his supporters in Rio de Janeiro.
