Carlos Bolsonaro Says Federal Police Blocked Visit Under Tight STF Visitation Limits

Overview

• Carlos Bolsonaro reported he was turned away from the Federal Police facility in Brasília, citing the rule that family visits occur only on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.
• A decision by Supreme Court minister Alexandre de Moraes granted automatic authorization for family entry but kept strict limits on days, times, and duration.
• Four children and a stepdaughter received permanent visitation rights with 30‑minute sessions, a maximum of two relatives per day, and individual, separate visits.
• Jair Bolsonaro returned to prison on January 1 after surgery to repair bilateral inguinal hernias and treat persistent hiccups, and a cardiologist and a physiotherapist are authorized to attend him in custody.
• Moraes has denied humanitarian house arrest, asserting the Federal Police can provide continuous care, as a bill that could reduce Bolsonaro’s 27‑year sentence faces a pledged veto from President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
