Brazils former President Jair Bolsonaro was arrested on Saturday, days before his twenty-seven-year prison sentence, due to concerns he might escape. The Supreme Court judge ordered the arrest, citing evidence of Bolsonaros intent to flee, potentially aided by his sons demonstration. Bolsonaros aide confirmed the arrest, and the Supreme Court panel will vote on the order on Monday. Bolsonaros allies claim political persecution, but he was convicted for attempting to overthrow Brazils democracy after his 2022 election loss.
