Bolsonaro Suffers Head Injury After Fall in Federal Police Cell

His medical team calls it a mild traumatic brain injury, with further tests planned.

Overview

  • Michelle Bolsonaro says the fall occurred before dawn during a “crisis” in the special 12‑square‑meter room where he is serving his sentence.
  • She alleges he received no assistance overnight because the cell stayed locked and that he was helped only in the morning.
  • Accompanied by a personal doctor, she went to Federal Police headquarters in Brasília to seek explanations and said he is not well.
  • Surgeon Claudio Birolini, who leads Bolsonaro’s medical team, reported a mild traumatic brain injury and said additional studies will evaluate his condition.
  • The Federal Police has not issued a medical bulletin or confirmed any transfer or imaging, as anonymous PF sources disputed claims of delayed care.
