    De Moraes said Bolsonaro’s tampering with his monitor fed his suspicions that he would attempt to flee the country in “the confusion that would be caused by a demonstration organized by his son," according to The Associated Press.

    Bolsonaro only has house arrest. He should be rotting in a prison cell.

    His sentence hasn't been confirmed yet (they might confirm it today?). Arresting him earlier for no reason, not that there isn't a multitude of reasons for him to rot in prison, then hell, just opens up excuses for due process to be questioned in the future.
