The minister of the (Supreme Federal Court) ruled on Wednesday (6) that relatives of the former president (PL) can visit him in his.
The authorization was given to Bolsonaro’s children, sisters -in -law, granddaughters and grandchildren. They do not need to communicate first to the Supreme Court, but are required to comply with the measures imposed by Moraes.
“I authorize the visits of children, sisters -in -law, granddaughters and grandchildren of the custodian, without prior communication, with the observance of the previously set legal and judicial determinations,” says Moraes in the order.
Moraes’s decision represents a flexibility of the measures imposed on Monday (4). In determining the former president’s house arrest, the Supreme Minister prohibited the visit of all, except his lawyers regularly constituted and with power of attorney in the court.
Bolsonaro’s family, friends and political allies would have to formalize the Moraes Office a request to visit the former president. The authorization would be made on a case by case basis.
“Visitors authorized by this Supreme Court, in this decision or from requirements formulated in the file, are expressly prohibited from using cell phones, taking photos or recording images,” Moraes highlights in the decision.
Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), the former president’s eldest son, questioned the restrictions on interviews on Tuesday (5). He even considered becoming his father’s lawyer to have easy access to the house where Bolsonaro is inmate.
With the flexibility of Moraes, Flávio and his brothers have easy access to his father and can visit him without time restriction.
In the Supreme Court, Bolsonaro’s house arrest decreed by Moraes generated indignation from part of the magistrates, arguing that the situation riots the political scenario at an inappropriate time.
Nevertheless, in the assessment of ministers heard by the report, there is majority in the first class to support their decision.
They claim that the arrest has damaged Bolsonaro’s allies movement to look for court ministers to suggest agreements in search of appeasement, given the proximity of the trial of the coup plot.
Moraes supporters, on the other hand, argue that Bolsonaro’s arrest became essential in the face of a series of measures by the former president and his son Eduardo, who would indicate an attempt to coerce the Supreme, with the aid of the government and the instigation of his supporters against the court.
