Event Summary

Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro has been granted permission by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes to serve his 27-year sentence for a coup attempt under house arrest due to his failing health. This decision follows his hospitalization for pneumonia and other health issues. Brazil's Attorney General Paulo Gonet Branco had previously paved the way for this arrangement. The house arrest is initially for 90 days, subject to reassessment. This development is set against the backdrop of an upcoming presidential election where Jair Bolsonaro's son, Flávio Bolsonaro, is expected to run against incumbent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
