Moraes Denies Carlos Bolsonaro's Birthday Visit Request Under PF Visitation Rules

Overview

• Alexandre de Moraes rejected the bid to move Carlos Bolsonaro’s prison visit from Thursday, December 4, to Sunday, December 7, stating the rules do not permit Sunday visits.
• The PF’s Portaria SR/PF/DF nº 1104/2024 limits family visits to Tuesdays and Thursdays between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m., caps each visit at 30 minutes, and allows only two relatives per day with separate entries.
• The previously authorized weekday visit for Carlos remains in effect, with scheduling required to conform to the PF timetable.
• Bolsonaro’s defense argued a humanitarian exception based on Carlos’s birthday and a prior trip to Chapecó, Santa Catarina, but the court held that detainees cannot choose visit days or times.
• In a related order, Moraes requested weekly reports detailing Bolsonaro’s prison visitors, including entry and exit times, and reiterated compliance with security and conduct rules.
