Brazil’s former president Jair Bolsonaro, who has been under house arrest since August, was transferred to detention on Saturday, his lawyer said.
“He has been imprisoned, but I don’t know why,” Celso Vilardi, one of his lawyers, told AFP.
The 70-year-old Bolsonaro’s legal team had previously argued that he should serve his 27-year sentence for a botched coup bid in 2022 at home, arguing imprisonment would pose a risk to his health.
