Brazil’s Supreme Court ordered the preemptive arrest of former President Jair Bolsonaro on Saturday, with a judge claiming he was intent on escaping just days before he was set to begin his 27-year prison sentence for leading a coup attempt.
The 70-year-old politician was taken to the headquarters of the country’s federal police in the capital, Brasilia, from his house arrest.
Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes, who oversaw the case, said in his ruling that Bolsonaro’s ankle monitor, which he has worn since July 18 for being deemed a flight risk, was violated at 0:08 a.m of Saturday.
Damn, must be nice to live in a country where powerful people face consequences for their actions.
Look at that, supreme court not supporting a coup attempt…
How stupid can you be?
Dude’s already gotten a sweetheart deal after a literal coup attempt.

Good move. He still has fans and minions out there who think this is all a big story of corruption and injustice against their Führer.
