Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was arrested on
Saturday by federal police, his spokesman Fabio Wajngarten
reported, Azernews reports.
According to the spokesman, Bolsonaro was taken into protective
custody, just days before starting his 27-year prison sentence.
“IT’S UNBELIEVABLE. On a Saturday. With completely compromised
health status. SHAMEFUL. [November] 26 is right around the corner,”
Wajngarten wrote on X.
The former president was sentenced back in September to 27 years
and three months in prison for leading a coup attempt to remain in
power, after he lost elections to President Luiz Inacio Lula da
Silva in 2022.
