Brazil Supreme Court denies Bolsonaro’s house arrest request | Bolsonaro News

The Brazilian Federal Supreme Court denied former President Jair Bolsonaro’s request for house arrest due to ongoing medical treatment for hiccups and a hernia. Bolsonaro, serving a 27-year sentence for electoral interference, has access to medical care in custody. Despite claims of deteriorating health, the court found no evidence of worsening conditions. Bolsonaro’s legal challenges stem from his disputed defeat in the 2022 election and a subsequent failed attempt to overturn the results, leading to unrest and investigations into his role in inciting violence.
