The former far-right president, nicknamed the “Trump of the Tropics”, has denied all allegations against him. But police have deemed him a flight risk. On the social media platform X, Bolsonaro’s office responded to the court’s decision with displeasure, calling it evidence of “lawfare” — a term for the use of a weaponised legal system.
