The arrest, carried out discreetly and without handcuffs, followed a Supreme Court ruling that cited serious concerns Bolsonaro might try to escape, notably after his ankle monitor was tampered with. The court also feared public disturbances related to a planned vigil organized by Bolsonaro&#8217;s supporters outside his home, which could <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/antifa-blm-vandalize-ice-building-burn-original-starbucks\/\" title=\"Antifa, BLM vandalize ICE building, burn original Starbucks\">disrupt public order<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As August, Bolsonaro had been under house arrest after accusations that he violated restrictions by using third<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bolsonaro-confined-to-house-arrest-after-allegedly-violating-social-media-ban-washington-examiner\/\" title=\"Bolsonaro confined to ... after allegedly violating social media ban - Washington Examiner\">-party <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sickening-video-shows-antifa-allegedly-stab-4-trump-supporters-in-washington-dc\/\" title=\"Sickening Video Shows Antifa Allegedly Stab 4 Trump Supporters in Washington DC\">social media accounts<\/a><\/a> to attack the judiciary.
