The court ruled that former President Jair Bolsonaro, currently under house arrest, may not receive visitors for 30 days, with exceptions for medical checkups and meetings with his lawyers, according to reports.
Brazil's Supreme Court on Saturday banned former President Jair Bolsonaro, currently under house arrest, from receiving visitors for 30 days, allowing only medical appointments and meetings with his legal team, according to reports.
The decision is the latest in a series of court-imposed restrictions on Bolsonaro's communications while under house arrest. As The Zioneer has reported, the court previously barred his son, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, from visiting after the senator published a letter from his father on social media. In earlier developments, federal police searched Bolsonaro's home for weapons, and the court convicted another son, Eduardo, for pushing U.S. intervention in his father's case.
The specific reason for the 30-day ban was not detailed in available reports. Bolsonaro is serving a prison sentence for his conviction on charges of attempted coup against President Lula da Silva.
