Bolsonaro Sabotages Ankle Monitor, Ends House Arrest

Brazil’s former president, Jair Bolsonaro, has been accused of sabotaging his ankle monitor with a soldering iron, effectively ending his house arrest. The incident occurred shortly before he was scheduled to start serving a 30-year sentence for corruption and other charges. The damaged device, which was part of a court-ordered monitoring system, is said to have rendered the tracking inoperable, leading to his release from restricted conditions.
