Bolsonaro family legal developments and STF rulings

Overview

The Supreme Federal Court (STF) continues to manage high-profile legal developments regarding former President Jair Bolsonaro and his family. Justice Alexandre de Moraes has ordered the arrest of former federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro following a conviction for coercion during legal proceedings. Eduardo Bolsonaro, currently in the United States, faces a sentence of four years and two months, the cancellation of his passports, and the loss of his position as a Federal Police clerk.

Regarding Jair Bolsonaro, who is serving a 27-year and three-month sentence under humanitarian house arrest in Brasília, the STF is evaluating the ‘Lei da Dosimetria’ (Dosimetry Law) as an alternative to the criminal review requested by his defense. While his lawyers seek to annul his sentence related to coup attempts, Law No. 15.402 establishes new criteria for sentence reduction. Defense estimates suggest this law could reduce Bolsonaro’s term by between two years and five months to three years. The law’s constitutionality is being challenged, but Prosecutor General Paulo Gonet Branco has argued against suspending its effectiveness.

Senator Flávio Bolsonaro has faced fluctuating visitation rights. After a 90-day ban expired, he resumed visits to his father; however, following the recent presidential election, Justice Moraes ordered Flávio to surrender his passports and prohibited him from leaving Brazil. Flávio has characterized these measures as political persecution.

Additionally, the STF is managing various related matters, including the revocation of former PRF Director Silvinei Vasques's retirement and ongoing investigations into the financing of the documentary ‘Dark Horse’.
