Brazilian police have reportedly searched the home and political headquarters of former President Jair Bolsonaro. On Friday, police confirmed they carried out “two search and seizure warrants,” but did not specify whether Bolsonaro was the target, but local media outlets are reporting that he was.

Bolsonaro has been ordered to wear an ankle monitor, according to the Associated Press. Additionally, Bolsonaro has reportedly been banned from using social media or contacting others under investigation, the Associated Press reported, citing local media. This would include his son, Eduardo Bolsonaro, a Brazilian lawmaker residing in the U.S. who is known for having ties to President Donald Trump.

Media outlets in Brazil are also reporting that the former president has been forbidden from leaving home between 7:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Additionally, Bolsonaro is reportedly prohibited from contacting foreign ambassadors and diplomats.

On Thursday, Trump called for an immediate end to the trial, saying that Bolsonaro is the victim of an “unjust system.”

“I have seen the terrible treatment you are receiving at the hands of an unjust system turned against you. This should end immediately!” Trump wrote in a letter he sent to Bolsonaro, which the president posted on his Truth Social account Thursday evening.
