Bolsonaro Rushed to Brasília Hospital as STF Scrutinizes Prior Escort Delay

His custodial terms require proof of emergency care, which his team has filed with Alexandre de Moraes.

Overview

  • On Tuesday, Jair Bolsonaro left house arrest under police escort for DF Star after a bout of pre-syncope, vomiting and low blood pressure, according to his doctors.
  • A medical certificate sent to the Supreme Court describes the acute episode and notes ongoing evaluation, with physician Leandro Santini Echenique signing the report and Claudio Birolini detailing the symptoms.
  • Minister Alexandre de Moraes has given the Polícia Penal do DF 24 hours to explain why Bolsonaro was not transported immediately home after Sunday’s discharge, citing video of a 5–6 minute delay outside the hospital.
  • During Sunday’s visit, doctors removed eight skin lesions and found iron-deficiency anemia and a residual image of recent aspiration pneumonia; biopsy results are pending.
  • Under the house-arrest order, emergency hospital trips are permitted with medical proof due within 24 hours, a requirement that follows his recent conviction by the STF to 27 years and 3 months, still subject to appeals.
