Moraes Nullifies CFM Probe, Orders Records After Bolsonaro’s Hospital Exams Show Mild Head Trauma

The justice said the medical council lacks authority over federal police medical teams, placing oversight of the episode under the court.

Overview

  • Bolsonaro underwent CT, MRI and EEG at Hospital DF Star and was diagnosed with a mild cranial trauma, with no intracranial lesions and convulsion ruled out.
  • He returned to the Federal Police facility in Brasília later the same day after the court‑authorized hospital visit.
  • Alexandre de Moraes declared the CFM’s move to open a sindicância a flagrant illegality, barred related procedures and ordered the council’s president to be heard by the Federal Police within 10 days.
  • The minister also directed the hospital to send all exam reports to the Supreme Court within 24 hours for review.
  • The CFM had cited concerns about guaranteeing adequate medical assistance and called for continuous multidisciplinary monitoring, while Bolsonaro’s family criticized the timing of the hospital authorization and signaled renewed pressure for home detention.
