This is the first time in Brazil’s history that military personnel have been arrested for direct involvement in a coup plot.

Brazil's Supreme Court on Monday upheld former President Jair Bolsonaro's incarceration after he admitted to trying to break his ankle monitor while under house arrest. A justice saw the action as an attempt to escape and avoid a 27-year prison sentence for leading a coup attempt.

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has told a judge Sunday he violated his ankle monitor due to a nervous breakdown and hallucinations.
