Prosecutors Ask Brazil’s Top Court to Keep the Ban on Flávio Bolsonaro Visits

Brazil's Prosecutor-General's Office has asked the Supreme Federal Court to keep the ban on Flávio Bolsonaro's visits to his father, former president Jair Bolsonaro. In a filing dated 12 August 2026, prosecutors opposed a defense appeal to restore the senator's right to see him. Jair Bolsonaro is under house arrest as part of precautionary measures in the case over an alleged plot to overturn the 2022 election, and the court has tied the visit ban to material Flávio shared online.
