Brazil's Supreme Court has denied a request for Argentine President Javier Milei to visit former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, who is currently under house arrest in Brasilia.
Key points
- Justice Alexandre de Moraes rejected the visit, citing current restrictions that prohibit Bolsonaro from receiving visitors for political or electoral purposes.
- The court recently tightened house arrest conditions for the former president following allegations that he violated judicial measures by supporting his son's political candidacy.
- Javier Milei intended to meet with Jair Bolsonaro during a trip to Brazil for a Liberal Party convention in Sao Paulo.
- The ruling also prohibits Flávio Bolsonaro from visiting his father for the next three months.
Why it matters
The decision highlights the ongoing judicial scrutiny of the former Brazilian president and limits international political engagement with him during his house arrest.
