Bolsonaro Transferred to Brasília Hospital for Head Exams After Jailhouse Fall

Overview

• Jair Bolsonaro arrived at DF Star in Brasília for a cranial CT, MRI and EEG after authorization by Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes.
• The transfer followed a fall inside his Federal Police detention cell, first disclosed by Michelle Bolsonaro, who said he lost balance during a bout of hiccups.
• A Federal Police medical report described superficial cuts, full orientation and no signs of neurological deficit, noting only slight imbalance when standing.
• Bolsonaro’s defense argued there was a concrete health risk and requested further tests, with Moraes initially seeking detailed medical justification before approving removal.
• The court directed PF-managed transport with entry through the hospital garage, while Bolsonaro remains incarcerated on a roughly 27-year sentence linked to the post-2022 power-retention plot.
