Brazilian Supreme Court Allows Family Visit for Ex‑President Bolsonaro Under House Arrest

Justice Minister Alexandre de Moraes of Brazil's Supreme Court authorized former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is serving a 27‑year‑plus sentence under house arrest, to receive a visit from his son Flávio Bolsonaro, his daughter‑in‑law and two granddaughters. The visit, scheduled for a Saturday, will be subject to security inspections and the surrender of electronic devices.

Separately, Brazil's Superior Court of Justice (STJ) set a hearing to consider a request for release submitted by influencer and lawyer Deolane Bezerra, who is being held on a secret‑court investigation into alleged participation in a multi‑million‑dollar money‑laundering scheme linked to the PCC criminal organization. The case remains under seal, and no decision has yet been issued.
