Brazilian Supreme Court upholds Bolsonaro's jailing after ankle monitor tampering
Brazil's Supreme Court upheld Monday former President Jair Bolsonaro's incarceration after he admitted to trying to break his ankle monitor this weekend while under house arrest. A justice saw the action as an attempt to escape and avoid a 27-year prison sentence for leading a coup attempt. Bolsonaro, 70, was arrested and kept in a cell at the country’s federal police headquarters in the capital, Brasilia, early Saturday.
