Bolsonaro spent two days sheltering in the Hungarian embassy and the chances of him being placed in preventive detention are increasing. The former president spent two nights at the Hungarian Embassy in Brasilia, four days after his passport was seized as part of the investigation.

Bolsonaro is being investigated for plotting a coup to prevent that Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva assumed power on January 1, 2023. The Federal Police is investigating the reason for his stay in the embassy.
