Bolsonaro banned from visitors for 30 days under house arrest

Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro has been banned from receiving visits for 30 days under house arrest, according to a court ruling. Argentine President Javier Milei's planned visit to Bolsonaro has been scrapped.

Jair Bolsonaro has been banned from visits for one month for illegally posting a letter on social media through his son, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro. On Saturday, Brazil's Supreme Court ruled that the penalty for the violation is a one-month ban on visits.

In addition, Judge Alexandre de Moraes says that Bolsonaro will not be allowed any visits whose purposes are "political" or "election-related" until after this year's elections.

Argentine President Javier Milei wanted to visit Bolsonaro in connection with his participation in a party convention in São Paulo, but has now been denied the visit, AFP writes.

Right-wing radical Bolsonaro was sentenced last year to 27 years in prison for a coup attempt. For health reasons, he is serving his sentence under house arrest.
