Brazil: Politics

Judicial proceedings concerning former President Jair Bolsonaro's detention were a primary focus. Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes is considering a transfer to house arrest following a medical report citing an acute kidney injury. Moraes has requested analysis from the Attorney General's Office and met with individuals, including Bolsonaro's son and a state governor, who appealed for the transfer. The judge also authorized legal visits to Bolsonaro during his hospital stay.

In related judicial actions, Moraes ordered specific security measures for Bolsonaro's hospital room and denied a visit from an adviser to President Donald Trump. Separately, Moraes closed an investigation into Elon Musk, who had publicly claimed the judge's arrest was imminent. These decisions reflect ongoing judicial management of the cases surrounding the former president and associated inquiries.
