  • Brazil's Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes authorized the resumption of visits for Carlos and Jair Renan Bolsonaro to their father, Jair Bolsonaro.
  • However, meetings for political-electoral purposes and the dissemination of manifestos with such aims remain prohibited.
  • Senator Flรกvio Bolsonaro is still barred from visiting his father until after the first round of elections due to a 90-day restriction.

Brazil's Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has authorized the resumption of visits for Carlos Bolsonaro and Jair Renan Bolsonaro to their father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is currently under house arrest. The decision, made on Friday, allows the two sons to see their father, but with specific limitations.

Justice Moraes stipulated that meetings with political-electoral objectives and the dissemination of related manifestos are strictly forbidden. This means that while family visits are permitted, any discussions or actions related to political campaigns are prohibited during these times.

The restriction on Senator Flรกvio Bolsonaro, another son of the former president and a candidate himself, remains in place. He is barred from visiting his father until after the first round of the upcoming elections, as the 90-day restriction period imposed on him will end after that date.

In his ruling, Moraes emphasized the importance of adhering to all legal conditions and judicial decisions. He warned that any violation of these terms could lead to an immediate reevaluation of the granted benefit, potentially resulting in more severe measures, including the reversal of the humanitarian house arrest to a closed-regime prison sentence.
