Brazil's Supreme Court has placed former President Jair Bolsonaro under house arrest amid allegations of masterminding a coup plot after losing the 2022 elections. Judge Alexandre de Moraes cited Bolsonaro's violation of precautionary measures by communicating through his sons. Bolsonaro's legal team plans to appeal, claiming his statements during a protest do not constitute a crime. The case has drawn international attention, with US President Donald Trump supporting Bolsonaro and criticizing the legal proceedings as a 'witch hunt.' The US State Department condemned the ruling, while Bolsonaro faces serious accusations of leading a criminal organization. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
