Brazil’s supreme court has ordered former President Jair Bolsonaro to wear an ankle monitor.

The decision came as the former president’s home and party headquarters in Brasilia were searched on Friday.

Members of Bolsonaro’s right-wing Liberal Party said he was also ordered to stop using social media and end communications with diplomats.

    The police, persecution and two independent levels of the Judiciary found him to be the central player on the Petrobras scandal that you talked about (and either way, it was created while he was the president). He was the central player on the scandal of car companies paying him (personally) to avoid paying taxes. He inherited the position of central player on the scandal of construction companies paying bribes.

    There were dozens of other crimes. He was right on the middle in most of them. Including the one where he used taxpayer money to bribe representatives and senators.

    Cut the bullshit.
