Overview

• Bolsonaro remains under Supreme Court–ordered house arrest since Aug. 4 with tightly controlled access to visitors.
• On Oct. 6, his lawyers asked Minister Alexandre de Moraes to authorize a 16-person prayer meeting led by Michelle Bolsonaro at his Brasília home on Oct. 8.
• Moraes has previously permitted religious gatherings, affirmed inmates’ right to spiritual assistance, and warned against using prayer lists to expand general visitation.
• As broad amnesty and sentence-reduction proposals lose traction in Congress, Bolsonaro’s camp is pressing for domiciliary execution of his 27-year sentence, which some court members consider feasible.
• Court reporting indicates he may first begin serving time in a special Federal Police room before any home-confinement decision, as appeals advance and recent medical issues—hiccups and reflux requiring a brief hospitalization—are documented.
