Supporters of Fl\u00e1vio Bolsonaro hold a sign that reads “Moraes Out” during a rally held in September<\/p>\n

The Supreme Court judge who ordered the seizure of Fl\u00e1vio Bolsonaro\u2019s passports – Alexandre de Moraes – is a real nemesis of the Bolsonaro family. <\/p>\n

He was the judge who led the coup trial of Jair Bolsonaro, which led to his conviction and 27-year sentence last year. Donald Trump\u2019s administration sanctioned Moraes last year in response to the trial. <\/p>\n

Moraes had also previously ordered some social media accounts, including in the US, to be taken down for spreading disinformation. A row over this with Elon Musk once resulted in X temporarily being banned in Brazil. <\/p>\n

Whenever I have been to rallies for either Jair or Fl\u00e1vio Bolsonaro over the years, there are often signs and chants saying things like \u201cMoraes out\u201d – or even images portraying him as a devil. <\/p>\n

Supporters of the Bolsonaro family accuse Moraes of being authoritarian, and the Trump administration has previously accused him of \u201ccensorship\u201d and \u201cpolitical persecutions”. <\/p>\n

Moraes\u2019s defenders argue he has taken steps to protect Brazilian democracy. <\/p>\n

But, there are also some Brazilians who are not fans at all of Bolsonaro but also feel really uncomfortable about some of Moraes\u2019s sweeping investigations and heavy-handed sentences – that have led to allegations that the Supreme Court has become too politicised. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Brazilian judge at the centre of the Bolsonaro family’s legal battlespublished at 17:56 GMT 17:56 GMT Ione…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":816748,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-816747","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/816747","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=816747"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/816747\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/816748"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=816747"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=816747"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=816747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
