Moraes warns Bolsonaro about imprisonment for violating the ban on the use of social media.
The warning was issued after the former president posted links on his social media to interviews he had given to the press in recent days.
André Richter, reporter for Agência Brasil - Supreme Federal Court (STF) Minister Alexandre de Moraes warned, this Monday (21), in Brasília, Jair Bolsonaro about the non-compliance with the precautionary measures imposed against the former president.
The warning was made after Bolsonaro posted on his social media exclusive links of interviews given to the press in recent days.
Among the measures established last week against the former president is a ban on the use of social media.
According to the minister, failure to comply with the ban could result in Bolsonaro being placed in preventive detention.
"The precautionary measure prohibiting the use of social media – directly or through third parties – imposed on Bolsonaro obviously includes the transmission, retransmission, or dissemination of audio, video, or transcripts of interviews on any third-party social media platforms. The investigated party cannot use these means to circumvent the measure, under penalty of immediate revocation and arrest," Moraes stated.
Investigation
The precautionary measures were determined in the investigation in which the former president's son, federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro, is being investigated for his actions with the government of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, aimed at promoting retaliatory measures against the Brazilian government and ministers of the Supreme Federal Court and attempting to block the progress of the criminal action regarding the coup plot.
