Moraes Orders 48‑Hour PGR Opinion on Bolsonaro's Gun and House Arrest

Overview

• A Glock 9mm registered to Jair Bolsonaro was seized during a traffic stop in Taguatinga and police records show a security aide said he was taking the weapon for repair.
• Bolsonaro told Police Civil investigators that the pistol was his and that he kept it at home for protection, a statement made in a short deposition reported on Tuesday that reinforced the ownership claim.
• On Wednesday Minister Alexandre de Moraes gave the Procuradoria‑Geral da República 48 hours to say whether possession fits article 50, III of the Law of Penal Execution, which defines a 'falta grave' as wrongfully holding an instrument capable of harming others.
• The 90‑day domiciliary humanitary regime granted in March expires on Thursday and Bolsonaro's lawyers have separately asked Moraes for an extension on medical grounds, citing persistent multimorbidity and a fresh medical report.
• U.S. litigation by Trump‑linked media and Rumble presses Florida courts to act against Moraes over his decisions, a move that has turned the domestic enforcement question into a transnational legal and diplomatic dispute.
