"Supreme court justice Alexandre de Moraes stated that the house arrest for Jair Bolsonaro would last for an initial period of 90 days, with a reassessment to follow based on health conditions."
"Bolsonaro's health has deteriorated since he was stabbed in 2018, leading to multiple hospitalizations, including a recent stay in intensive care for kidney problems."
"Historically, Brazil's supreme court only reverses house arrest if a detainee's health improves dramatically or if there is a violation of established rules."
Jair Bolsonaro has been granted permission to serve his 27-year sentence for a coup attempt at home due to his failing health. Supreme court justice Alexandre de Moraes made this decision after Bolsonaro's hospitalization for pneumonia and other health problems. The initial house arrest period is set for 90 days, after which a reassessment will occur. Bolsonaro's lawyers had previously sought this arrangement, which had been denied. His son, Flavio Bolsonaro, is running for the presidency, currently in a tight race with incumbent Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
