Former president Jair Bolsonaro was arrested on Saturday morning, November 22, by the Federal Police (PF). In a statement, the PF reported that it carried out “a preventive arrest warrant in compliance with a decision from the Supreme Federal Court.”

Under house arrest since August 4, Bolsonaro of the Liberal Party (PL) was taken to the PF Headquarters after being detained at his home around 6 am in Brasília.

According to authorities, Saturday’s detention is a precautionary measure and does not constitute the beginning of his 27-year and three-month sentence for which the far-right former president was convicted in the coup plot trial.
