Bolsonaro’s medical visits and hospitalization authorized in Brazil

Brasilia, Oct 15 (Prensa Latina) Judge Alexandre de Moraes of Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) authorized former President Jair Bolsonaro to receive medical visits and undergo any treatment at his residence, where he is currently under house arrest.

The decision also determined that the far-right politician may be hospitalized in an emergency situation due to his health condition.

In both cases, the requirement to notify the higher court within 24 hours, with duly verified evidence, remains in place.

All visits and procedures must comply with previously established legal and judicial requirements.

The document also reaffirms that, according to an August 30 decision, inspections will be carried out of the trunks and interior of all vehicles leaving Bolsonaro’s residence.

On Monday, De Moraes denied a request from the former president’s defense team to revoke his home confinement and the precautionary measures imposed on him, including a ban on cell phone use and access to social media, and the confiscation of his passport.

In September, the defense team requested the suspension of the restrictions, arguing that Bolsonaro was not included in the complaint filed by the Attorney General’s Office and, therefore, there was no basis to maintain the provisional measures.
