How international press reports Bolsonaro’s arrest

Within hours of former President Jair Bolsonaro being detained by the Federal Police in Brasília on Saturday morning, the case is already making headlines in various international media outlets. Bolsonaro was arrested following a decision by Minister Alexandre de Moraes of the Supreme Federal Court (STF). He was transferred to the Federal Police Headquarters in the Federal District, where he is expected to remain in a special custody location. The American newspaper The Washington Post noted that ‘like most of his STF colleagues,’ Moraes ‘rarely makes decisions on Saturdays unless there are security risks involved’.
