SAO PAULO (Reuters) -A panel of Brazil’s Supreme Court on Monday formed a majority to keep former President Jair Bolsonaro under police custody.
Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered Bolsonaro’s detention on Saturday, after more than 100 days of house arrest, citing potential flight risk as the right-wing leader awaits final appeals of his prison sentence for plotting a coup.
Justices Flavio Dino and Cristiano Zanin joined Moraes on Monday, forming a majority on the four-judge panel.
