Brazilian ex-president Bolsonaro granted temporary prison release for hernia surgery, under court supervision.
Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes has approved former President Jair Bolsonaro’s temporary release from prison to undergo surgery for a bilateral inguinal hernia, citing medical necessity.
The procedure, required due to worsening pain and health complications, will be performed at a private hospital in Brasilia.
Bolsonaro, serving a 27-year sentence for his role in a failed coup attempt after losing the 2022 election, remains under judicial supervision and was denied house arrest after the surgery.
The decision follows a medical evaluation by federal police doctors confirming the need for surgery despite non-surgical treatment options.
Bolsonaro, who survived a 2018 stabbing, has a history of related health issues and prior surgeries.
The surgery date will be determined by his legal team and must be reviewed by prosecutors within 24 hours.
