After months of house arrest, Brazilian police arrested former President Bolsonaro due to the risk of flight.

Federal Police arrested former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Saturday morning, following a decision by Supreme Federal Court (STF) Justice Alexandre de Moraes. Moraes revoked the house arrest he had been under since his 27-year, 3-month prison sentence in September. As a result, the former president was taken to the Federal Police Superintendency in the Federal District, where he will be held in a special detention center. The Federal Police, citing a specific flight risk, requested the new preventive detention order. According to the ruling, this risk was identified after Senator Flávio Bolsonaro
