São Paulo, July 18 (AP) – In a significant development, Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro has been mandated to wear an ankle monitor, as confirmed by his press office on Friday.

This decision surfaced amidst federal police operations at his residence and at his political party's headquarters in Brasília, as per sources acquainted with the court's directive.

Reports from local media indicate that Bolsonaro has also been prohibited from utilizing social media platforms and from engaging with other individuals currently under investigation by the Supreme Federal Court. This includes a restriction involving his son, Eduardo Bolsonaro, a Brazilian legislator residing in the United States, recognized for his strong connection with US President Donald Trump.

Authorities released a statement highlighting that officers in Brasília executed “two search and seizure warrants, along with precautionary measures apart from arrest, in allegiance to a Supreme Court ruling.” Although the statement did not explicitly mention Bolsonaro, it underscored the ongoing legal measures.
