A military police officer from the Federal District used pepper spray to intervene in a disturbance in front of the Federal Police headquarters in Brasília, on Sunday afternoon, 23, where former president Jair Bolsonaro is being held. The Estadão team witnessed the moment.
Estadão sought contact with the Military Police, the Federal Police and the Public Security Secretariat of the Federal District, but received no response until the publication of this report.
In the images, the young man wearing a black tank top appears dancing and raising his arms in a tone of joy before shaking the drink and opening it. Another person approaches holding a cell phone, and the two start to feel strange. A protester wrapped in the Brazilian flag also appears and tries to hit him.

Given the beginning of confusion, a military police officer approached and used pepper spray. Some people around, including protesters, onlookers and journalists, dispersed the gathering and showed symptoms of coughing.
Several people are there due to Bolsonaro’s preventive detention, ordered on Saturday, the 22nd. Bolsonaro even admitted that he damaged his electronic ankle bracelet used in house arrest. On Sunday afternoon he received a visit from his wife, Michelle Bolsonaro, who stayed there for around two hours.
