Police in Brazil swooped on the home and political headquarters of Jair Bolsonaro early Friday, searching the properties, ordering the former president to wear an electronic ankle tag, barring him from speaking to foreign officials or approaching embassies and prohibiting him from using social media.

Jair Bolsonaro criticised the Supreme Court's order for him to wear an electronic ankle monitor and not use social media, calling it humiliating. He aims to maintain his political presence while facing a trial for an alleged coup attempt and seeks to discuss tariffs with Trump.

The former president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, has been ordered to wear an electronic ankle tag by the country's Supreme Court as his high-profile trial enters the final stages. The 70-year-old ex-president faces charges of plotting to overthrow the government of his successor Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva following his election defeat in 2022.
