Brazil court orders house arrest for Bolsonaro allies

Brazil’s top court has ordered house arrest for 10 individuals convicted in a plot to keep former President Jair Bolsonaro in power after his 2022 election defeat. The decision followed the arrest of a former police commander in Paraguay. Those under house arrest included a former adviser to Bolsonaro, with restrictions on visits, social media use, and contacts. Bolsonaro, currently hospitalized, denies wrongdoing in the case, which has garnered international attention and led to sanctions being lifted by the US.
