Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes rejected a request for Argentine President Javier Milei to visit former President Jair Bolsonaro under house arrest in Brasilia on July 25, saying Bolsonaro was already barred from visits of a political-electoral nature. [1]

The ruling applies the structure in Saturday's account of Bolsonaro's visitor restrictions, under which Reuters reported a 30-day suspension for most visitors, a longer ban on political-electoral visits and continued access for medical care and lawyers. [2]

AP reported that Milei was expected at a Liberal Party convention in Sao Paulo certifying Senator Flavio Bolsonaro as its presidential candidate, so the denied visit fits the existing political-purpose boundary rather than creating a new custody category. [1]

The decision does not add a conviction, return Bolsonaro to prison or remove legal and medical access, and the assigned reports establish no renewed application, appeal or change to Milei's itinerary by cutoff; the request also does not merge the two presidents' legal positions, because Milei was the proposed visitor while Bolsonaro remained subject to the court's conditions, and rejecting their meeting applies an access rule to Bolsonaro's house arrest without placing Milei under that custody order.

No verified X post was recovered, so partisan claims about liberation or renewed imprisonment remain unobserved; the order closes one requested doorway on one date, while Bolsonaro's house arrest and the other visitor clocks remain what they were before Milei asked to enter.
