A Brazilian judge on Monday placed former President Jair Bolsonaro under house arrest. Last month, he was barred from using social media after being accused of trying to disrupt the trial with fiery speeches shared online by his sons and allies. Minister of the Supreme Federal Court of Brazil also barred the country's former leader (2019-2022) from receiving visitors, apart from his lawyers.
