BREAKING: Under Heavy US Sanctions, Brazils Tyrant Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes Orders the House Arrest of Former President Jair Bolsonaro
The Gateway PunditAUG 2025
This house arrest marks another escalation by the most powerful Supreme Court justice in Brazil and the country's de facto dictator in a bid to use Brazilian institutions to silence political dissent. His behavior also suggests a self-destructive intent to provoke the Trump administration after being sanctioned under the Global Magnitsky Act.
From banning X in Brazil to this latest house arrest, Moraes continues to prove that no one is above the law. The judge's fight against far-right populism is unlikely to cease anytime soon, as Bolsonaro continues flouting his vitriolic politics in contravention of Brazilian law and sovereignty.
