Police search Bolsonaro house after suspecting weapons, ammunition inside

Brazilian federal police carried out a search of former president Jair Bolsonaro’s home in connection with suspicions that weapons and ammunition may have been kept at the property, according to a report citing the authorities’ actions.

The search took place while Bolsonaro is serving house arrest. Agents were reportedly ordered to look for firearms and ammunition believed to be stored at the residence as part of the ongoing judicial scrutiny around his case and the conditions of his confinement.

Bolsonaro has remained a polarizing figure in Brazil’s politics, and any developments involving law-enforcement actions at his home are closely watched by both supporters and opponents as legal processes continue in the broader investigations involving him.
