247 - Jair Bolsonaro (PL) was arrested this Saturday morning (22) after a preventive arrest warrant was served, requested by the Federal Police. The information was initially published by G1, which highlights that the measure is not about serving a sentence, but a precautionary action authorized by the Justice system.

According to preliminary information released by G1, Bolsonaro was taken to the Federal Police Superintendency immediately after his arrest. As it is a preventive arrest, the measure is applied to avoid risks to the investigation, such as possible flight, destruction of evidence or obstruction of justice. So far, no further details have been released about the legal grounds or the investigation that motivated the arrest warrant.

This measure becomes one of the most significant moments in the recent Brazilian political landscape, as the former president had been the target of various investigations since the end of his term. With the preventive detention, the case enters a new stage, increasing pressure on allies and amplifying tension in the national political environment.

The G1 news report states that new updates will be released throughout the day as details of the Federal Police operation become more apparent.
