Brasília, ,22/11: Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was taken into federal police custody on Saturday, his lawyer told Reuters, ending months of house arrest as he appealed a Supreme Court conviction for attacks on Brazil’s democracy.
Bolsonaro’s attorney Celso Vilardi did not give a reason for the detention. A person familiar with the matter said it was a preventative measure related to the terms of his house arrest. A federal police representative confirmed Bolsonaro was undergoing intake exams in Brasilia on Saturday morning.
