Brazil’s supreme court has ordered former President Jair Bolsonaro to wear an ankle monitor.

The decision came as the former president’s home and party headquarters in Brasilia were searched on Friday.

Members of Bolsonaro’s right-wing Liberal Party said he was also ordered to stop using social media and end communications with diplomats.

    You’d be surprised at how hard Latin America can go on their corrupt presidents. Peru is a good example, with many ex-presidents in jail or in exile cause they’d go to jail if they ever went back home. One even shot himself (kinda sorta on live TV too!) to avoid incarceration. 🙃
