Brazilian judge warns Bolsonaro over viral speech on social media

The Sun3 days ago
BRASÍLIA: A Brazilian Supreme Court judge has warned former president Jair Bolsonaro of possible imprisonment after his speech was widely shared on social media, violating a court-imposed ban. The far-right leader, accused of plotting a coup against successor Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, delivered the address, which was later posted by his allies and family.
Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes cited posts on X, Instagram, and Facebook containing Bolsonaro's remarks as evidence of a breach. 'Delivered a speech to be shown on digital platforms,' Moraes stated, demanding clarification from Bolsonaro's lawyers within 24 hours or face 'immediate imprisonment.'
Bolsonaro, currently under electronic monitoring, denied wrongdoing, calling the judge's actions 'cowardice.' Meanwhile, former US President Donald Trump criticized Brazil's authorities, labeling the case a 'witch hunt' and imposing visa sanctions on Moraes. - AFP

Female driver remanded for two days over Pasir Gudang highway accident

JOHOR BARU: A 24-year-old female driver was remanded for two days after a viral video showed her allegedly driving recklessly, causing an accident at Km4 of the Pasir Gudang highway yesterday. Dashcam recording of the 12.21am accident went viral after it was uploaded on Facebook. The footage showed a Proton Wira overtaking in the right lane while a Proton Persona overtook from the left and re-entered the right lane, leading to a rear-side collision. The impact caused the Wira to lose control and crash into a road divider. The 21-year-old Wira driver lodged a police report yesterday. Johor Baru (North) police chief, Assistant Commissioner Balveer Singh, confirmed the Persona driver was remanded, and her statement was recorded. "She tested negative for alcohol and drugs following breathalyser and urine screening," Balveer said in a statement today. The case is being investigated under Section 42(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987 for reckless and dangerous driving. Balveer urged anyone with further information or dashcam footage to contact investigation officer Inspector Ong Jin Siong at 011-16490168.
