Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) visited his father, Jair Bolsonaro (PL), for the first time on Wednesday afternoon, 6 since the former president had the house arrest decreed by Minister Alexandre de Moraes of the Supreme Court (STF), on Monday, 4. The two met at the residence of the former chief executive in Brasilia.
In order to decree house arrest, Moraes determined that Bolsonaro would be forbidden to receive people at home except lawyers. However, this morning, the minister authorized the former president to be visited by children, sisters-in-law and grandchildren at his residence.
Leaving Bolsonaro’s house, Flávio told reporters that Alexandre de Moraes “did no favor” by allowing family members to visit the former president in house arrest. “What he had to have done from the beginning was to revoke this prison,” says the senator.
