Brazil: Moraes restores Bolsonaro's family visits and revokes Silvinei Vasques's retirement

Brazilian Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has issued two significant rulings involving former President Jair Bolsonaro and former Federal Highway Police (PRF) Director Silvinei Vasques.

Regarding Jair Bolsonaro, Moraes authorized his sons, Carlos and Jair Renan, to resume permanent visits to him during his house arrest. This decision follows a 30-day suspension triggered by a violation of court measures. However, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro remains prohibited from visiting his father for 90 days due to his role in disseminating a political letter. Moraes emphasized that all visits must strictly avoid political-electoral purposes or the dissemination of political manifestos, warning that further violations could lead to a return to closed prison regime. Additionally, a request for a visit from Argentine President Javier Milei was denied.

In a separate matter, Moraes ordered the revocation of Silvinei Vasques's retirement. Vasques, who was previously convicted for his role in an attempted coup to prevent the 2022 election results from being finalized, was sentenced to 24 years and 6 months in prison. The court ruled that the loss of public office resulting from his criminal conviction extends to his status as a retiree. Vasques had previously attempted to flee the country via Paraguay using a false passport.
