Lawyers representing Jair Bolsonaro, the former Brazilian President, formally requested his release from house arrest on Tuesday. The request follows a legal investigation initiated last month concerning alleged inconsistencies in financial records. The investigation stemmed from accusations of potential financial misconduct and a review of his political activities. Bolsonaro’s legal team stated they are seeking a dismissal of charges against him, arguing that he has not been charged under the investigation’s scope. The request is part of a broader effort to mitigate potential legal consequences associated with the ongoing legal proceedings.
