Brazil judge summons Bolsonaro's lawyers for incompliance with court orders, local media reports

SAO PAULO, July 21 (Reuters) - Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes summoned the lawyers of former President Jair Bolsonaro to clarify Bolsonaro's alleged non-compliance with court orders restricting his use of social media, news outlet G1 reported on Monday.

Moraes gave Bolsonaro's lawyers 24 hours to present an explanation, adding that if the defense does not adequately justify the behavior, he may order the immediate arrest of the former president, according to G1.

Moraes said earlier in the day that Bolsonaro may be arrested if his press interviews are published on social media, raising questions about whether the right-wing leader is allowed to talk to journalists.
