STF panel rejects Bolsonaro's house arrest request

ndmais.com.br (Portuguese)

The STF's First Panel has a majority against Jair Bolsonaro's house arrest request. Ministers Dino and Zanin voted against it, forming a 3-0 majority. The request was denied by Minister Moraes due to medical reports indicating Bolsonaro's conditions are controlled and his current location is adequate for care. His history of attempting to tamper with an electronic monitoring device also factored into the decision. Bolsonaro remains in a special unit at a military police complex in Brasília. This ruling means he will continue to serve his sentence in prison, and new requests require different justifications.
