BRASILIA (Reuters) -Brazil's federal police on Saturday took former President Jair Bolsonaro into custody due to flight risk after he took a soldering iron to his ankle monitor, ending months of house arrest as he appeals his conviction for plotting a coup.
The detention in a 12-square-meter room in federal police headquarters in Brasilia marks the latest setback for Bolsonaro after U.S. President Donald Trump, his ideological ally, rolled back tariffs meant to derail his prosecution.
