STF Denies Jair Bolsonaro's Defense Request for Father's Day Visits

Justice Alexandre de Moraes of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) has denied the petition filed by former President Jair Bolsonaro's legal defense team requesting authorization to receive a visit from his sons—Flávio, Carlos, and Jair Renan—this coming Sunday for Father's Day.

With this decision, the conditions and restrictions imposed on the former president's house arrest remain unchanged. The visitation restriction was established following the Court's determination that previous rules regarding the dissemination of political statements through third parties had been breached.

The decision is grounded in the following points:

Maintenance of Precautionary Measures: The STF denied the temporary flexibility requested on humanitarian grounds, maintaining the visitation restriction regime at the residence.

Duration of Sanctions: The access limitation periods for visitors established by previous Court rulings remain fully in effect.

The former president's defense has been notified of the decision, and the restrictive regime remains under judicial oversight.
