Federal Police Search Bolsonaro Residence in Arms Probe

Brazilian federal police descended on Jair Bolsonaro’s residence Wednesday, acting on a warrant authorized by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. While the operation sought to recover specific weapons and ammunition, agents left the premises empty-handed, failing to secure the items detailed in the judicial order.

The former president, currently serving a 27-year sentence for his role in orchestrating a coup following the 2022 election, remains confined to his home due to ongoing health complications. These issues stem from a 2018 stabbing incident during his initial presidential campaign, a condition that led Prosecutor General Paulo Gonet to support his current house arrest despite earlier legal findings.

Scrutiny surrounding Bolsonaro’s access to firearms intensified last month when authorities confiscated a weapon registered to him from a member of his security detail. Despite the high-profile nature of the search, his legal counsel confirmed that the latest attempt to locate further munitions yielded no results.
