**Jair Bolsonaro Placed Under House Arrest Amid Coup Allegations**

Brazil's Supreme Court has mandated house arrest for former President Jair Bolsonaro as he faces serious allegations regarding coup plotting.


The Brazilian political landscape is witnessing a significant development as the Supreme Court ordered former President Jair Bolsonaro into house arrest. He is currently under investigation for allegedly conspiring to orchestrate a coup, claims he staunchly denies. The decision comes from Judge Alexandre de Moraes, who cited Bolsonaro's failure to adhere to earlier restraining orders as a basis for this action.

In response to the allegations and judicial measures, Bolsonaro's supporters have continued to rally across various cities in Brazil, demonstrating his enduring political influence. However, Judge Moraes has imposed strict limitations, including barring him from receiving visitors apart from authorized personnel and forbidding him from using mobile communication, either directly or indirectly. This is part of ongoing measures to prevent Bolsonaro from inciting unrest, particularly after reports indicated he encouraged foreign intervention in Brazil's judiciary.

The situation has garnered international attention, particularly from former US President Donald Trump, who labeled the judicial proceedings "a witch-hunt" and has leveraged the scenario to impose tariffs on Brazilian imports, despite a trade surplus favoring the United States.

As this story develops, further updates regarding the implications for Bolsonaro and Brazil's political future are expected.
