A Brazilian supreme court judge has ordered former president Jair Bolsonaro to house arrest for allegedly breaching preventative measures designed to prevent him from avoiding punishment over coup attempt allegations. Justice Alexandre de Moraes found that Bolsonaro violated a social media ban imposed last month by using allies' accounts to incite attacks on the Supreme Federal Court and advocate for foreign intervention in Brazil's judiciary. Bolsonaro's house arrest will be in Brasilia with limited visits and police instructed to collect all mobile devices at his residence.
