Moraes Denies Immediate Hospital Transfer After Bolsonaro’s Fall in PF Custody

Overview

• A Polícia Federal’s medical report says Jair Bolsonaro was conscious, oriented and hemodynamically stable after the nighttime fall, with superficial cuts on the face and left big toe and a slight imbalance when standing.
• Minister Alexandre de Moraes found no need for urgent removal based on the PF evaluation and ordered the report filed while leaving room for pre‑scheduled, justified tests.
• Bolsonaro’s lawyers and doctors requested urgent neurological imaging and monitoring—CT and MRI of the skull and an electroencephalogram—arguing the need to rule out complications after what they describe as a mild head injury.
• The PF report lists four hypotheses for the incident: interaction of medications, an epileptic seizure, adaptation to CPAP with hypoxemia, or a postoperative inflammatory process.
• Political allies escalated pressure as the PL called the situation “incabível,” Senator Flávio Bolsonaro labeled it “torture,” and Michelle Bolsonaro said the family awaits a response from the Prosecutor‑General’s Office on the exam requests.
