The former president was jailed over the weekend after tampering with his ankle monitor while on house arrest. The Supreme Court judges who upheld his incarceration fear he might try to escape.

A panel of four Supreme Court judges unanimously upheld on Monday a decision to incarcerate Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro, after he was arrested over the weekend when he tampered with his ankle monitor.

Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered Bolsonaro’s detention on Saturday, citing fears he might try to escape custody if allowed to stay on house arrest, where he has been awaiting an appeal against his 27-year prison sentence for plotting a failed coup.

On Monday, Justices Flavio Dino, Cristiano Zanin and Carmen Lucia upheld de Moraes’ order.

It’s only a matter of time.

Right now, people can’t fight back because too many useful idiots will get in their way.

He’s so used to being immune from consequences, he can no longer recognize a terrible idea when he has one. Welcome to the real world, dipshit.
