Justice Alexandre de Moraes has approved a request for the ex-president to leave prison for hernia treatment.
The Brazilian Supreme Court has permitted former President Jair Bolsonaro to temporarily leave prison for hernia surgery, scheduled for Thursday, after a request from his lawyers. Bolsonaro, serving a 27-year sentence for involvement in a coup plot, is experiencing pain due to a hernia. This will be his first departure from federal custody since his sentencing in late November, closely monitored by police. His son, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, expressed that health concerns necessitated the cancellation of a planned interview.
