Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was taken into custody on Saturday, November 22, after attempting to remove an electronic bracelet, according to reports. The former president admitted to using a soldering iron for this action but did not explain the reason. Bolsonaro faces a potential sentence of up to 28 years in prison for plotting a coup following his defeat in the 2022 elections. His legal team expressed concern over the detention, highlighting that he was under electronic monitoring and constant police surveillance. A ruling by a Brazilian Supreme Court judge indicated the possibility of Bolsonaro seeking asylum in a foreign embassy, though no final decision has been made regarding his arrest. The case follows earlier developments where Bolsonaro was sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison, with ongoing appeals.
