Moraes Orders Bolsonaro Transferred to Papudinha State‑Major Suite

Overview

• The STF directive moved Jair Bolsonaro from the Federal Police site to a Sala de Estado‑Maior at the PM‑DF’s 19th Battalion, where he will continue serving a 27‑year, 3‑month sentence for leading the January 8, 2023 coup attempt.
• A Federal Police medical board must immediately examine him and deliver a report within ten days, as 24‑hour care, physiotherapy sessions, and urgent hospital transfers were authorized.
• The new quarters total about 64.83 m² with bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, laundry, living area, and a private external space, expand visiting hours, allow exercise equipment, and provide five daily meals.
• Following a PGR opinion, the court approved religious visits and participation in a reading‑for‑remission program, but denied a smart TV with internet access on security grounds.
• Moraes rejected relatives’ and allies’ claims of degrading treatment as false, and reactions split along party lines, with PL figures decrying the move and PT leaders calling it lawful and more favorable.
