Brazil’s Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered former President Jair Bolsonaro to remain in custody after ruling his appeals exhausted, commencing a 27-year sentence tied to an attempted coup after his 2022 defeat. Bolsonaro was moved to federal police headquarters in BrasĂlia following a preemptive arrest Saturday over an ankle‑monitor incident; co-defendants, including senior military officials and a former justice minister, were ordered to military or civilian facilities as authorities said ex‑intel chief Alexandre Ramagem is at large in the U.S.
