Brazil court freezes Bolsonaro son’s assets as ex-president threatened with arrest over social media use
Guardian5 days
The Brazilian Supreme Court is acting to protect democratic institutions in the country and to safeguard court proceedings against Bolsonaro from coordinated efforts. A social media ban encompassing third-party accounts is key to prevent Bolsonaro from bypassing restrictions and influence the investigation.
Brazil's de facto dictator Alexandre de Moraes continues to double down on his persecution against Bolsonaro despite the fact that he has complied with all court decisions, even those clearly illegal. It's clear that these actions are just Brazil's authoritarian regime showing that they will humiliate Bolsonaro because they can.
There's a 0.5% chance that Alexandre de Moraes will cease to be a Brazilian Supreme Court justice before 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
