# A court has ordered Brazil’s former president Jair Bolsonaro to wear an ankle tag and put him under curfew over fears he might abscond while standing trial. Bolsonaro is accused of plotting a coup to prevent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva from taking office in 2023. US President Donald Trump has been attempting to quash the case against his ally, by threatening steep tariffs on Brazilian goods. The ex-president will be placed under 24-hour surveillance and have to comply with a nighttime curfew. If found guilty, the 70-year-old Bolsonaro could face decades behind bars.
