Brazil's Prosecutor General Supports Resuming Senator Flavio Bolsonaro's Visits to Father Jair Bolsonaro Under House Arrest

On August 6, 2026, Brazil's Prosecutor General, Paulo Gonet Branco, sent a favorable opinion to the Supreme Federal Court regarding the resumption of visits by Senator Flavio Bolsonaro to his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is under house arrest. The opinion was requested by Justice Alexandre de Moraes after the defense filed a petition. The visits were suspended in July after Flavio published a letter written by his father, violating a restriction on internet use. The defense argued the 90-day suspension would expire on October 11. Jair Bolsonaro is serving a 27-year sentence for his role in an alleged coup plot.
