Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes barred presidential hopeful Senator Flavio Bolsonaro from visiting his father, former president Jair Bolsonaro, for 90 days, a court decision showed on Monday.
Moraes ruled that a letter written by the ex-president and shared by the senator on social media over the weekend breached the terms of Jair Bolsonaro’s house arrest.
The visitation ban could be a setback for the younger Bolsonaro’s plans to run against President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in Brazil’s presidential election later this year, with the first round scheduled for Oct. 4 and a potential runoff for Oct. 25.
