STORY: Supporters of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro gathered near his residence after authorities placed him under house arrest on Monday (August 4).

Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes issued the arrest order, saying in his decision that the right-wing firebrand did not comply with judicial restraining orders imposed on him last month.

Bolsonaro is facing charges that he conspired with dozens of his allies to overturn his 2022 electoral loss to leftist President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.

Bolsonaro supporters honked their horns in a convoy near the residence of the former leader, where they threatened the country "will stop" over what they say is the defense of his innocence.

Moraes also banned Bolsonaro from receiving visits, with exceptions for lawyers and people authorized by the court, and use of a cell phone either directly or through third parties.

A press representative for Bolsonaro confirmed that he was placed under house arrest late afternoon on Monday and that a cell phone had been seized.
