Brazil Supreme Court Orders Eduardo Bolsonaro's Prison Sentence and Arrest
The Brazilian Supreme Court (STF) has ordered the immediate commencement of Eduardo Bolsonaro's 4-year, 2-month prison sentence for coercion, confirmed by multiple high-confidence sources. An arrest warrant has been issued, his political rights suspended, and his passport seized, though his current presence in the United States since 2025 complicates immediate enforcement. This action represents a significant escalation in judicial enforcement against the Bolsonaro family, intensifying political tensions ahead of upcoming elections.
