Supreme Tribunal Federal (STF) Minister Alexandre de Moraes has suspended Senator Flávio Bolsonaro's visitation rights to his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, for 90 days due to the unauthorized public release of a political letter.
Key points
- The suspension follows Flávio Bolsonaro's reading of a letter from the former president during a social media broadcast, which violated a judicial ban on Jair Bolsonaro using digital platforms.
- Minister Alexandre de Moraes ordered the defense to clarify within 48 hours if the former president was aware that his letter would be disseminated online.
- The STF is investigating whether the incident constitutes illegal early electoral campaigning, as official propaganda is restricted until August 16.
- Jair Bolsonaro is currently serving a house arrest sentence, which includes a prohibition on using social media directly or through third parties.
Why it matters
The decision highlights the ongoing judicial oversight of the former president's communications and the strict enforcement of electoral rules during the 2026 campaign period.
