Just last month, Bolsonaro had been fitted with an ankle monitor and was barred from online activity. The ban also extended to third parties sharing his public remarks. However, on Sunday, his allies livestreamed a call between Bolsonaro and his son during a rally in Rio de Janeiro.

Bolsonaro is on trial for allegedly masterminding a coup plot to remain in office despite his defeat in the 2022 election.

Brazilian authorities placed former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is standing trial on charges of plotting a coup, under house arrest on Monday.
