Jair Bolsonaro denied Father's Day visits by Supreme Court FAST-MOVING
Supreme Federal Court Minister Alexandre de Moraes has denied a request by the defense of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro to allow his sons—Flávio, Carlos, and Jair Renan—to visit him on Father's Day.
Bolsonaro is currently serving a sentence of 27 years and three months for leading an attempted coup d'état and is under house arrest. Moraes ruled that the request was moot because all family visits have been suspended since July 17. The suspension follows a violation of judicial conditions when Senator Flávio Bolsonaro published a handwritten letter from his father on social media, which breached Bolsonaro's ban on using social media, even through third parties.
Flávio Bolsonaro, who is a presidential candidate, has criticized the decision as an infringement on personal liberty and family rights. He expressed his frustration through a letter to his father, noting he must monitor his father's health through lawyers. Currently, access to Bolsonaro's residence is restricted to medical professionals, physiotherapists, and lawyers only.
