ARA Brazilian judge, Alexandre de Moraes, has imposed new restrictions on former President Jair Bolsonaro’s house arrest regime, complicating plans by Argentine President Javier Milei to visit him. The restrictions include a 30-day suspension of all visitation rights and a ban on any 'political-electoral' meetings until Brazil’s presidential elections conclude. This decision comes after Bolsonaro was convicted of attempted coup in 2022. The ruling contradicts a formal request from Bolsonaro’s legal team to allow Milei’s visit, which they argued was an official state visit arranged through diplomatic channels. The judge criticized Bolsonaro’s defense, stating that his claims were implausible and contradictory, particularly regarding the distribution of a political message via his son Flávio. Additionally, the judge highlighted that Bolsonaro had received numerous visits since being granted house arrest, including many from family members.
