Overview
- Brazil’s prison administration (Seape-DF), led by secretary Wenderson Souza e Teles, sent the petition on Nov. 3 seeking a specialized exam of Jair Bolsonaro.
- The request sought to assess his clinical condition and compatibility with medical and nutritional care available in Brasília’s prison system, including potential custody at the Papuda complex.
- On Nov. 5, Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered the petition’s desentranhamento, formally removing it from the action’s records for lack of pertinence.
- Bolsonaro remains under house arrest since Aug. 4 after a Sept. 11 conviction to 27 years and 3 months for five crimes, including attempted coup.
- The First Panel will review appeals in a virtual session from Nov. 7 to 14, and no medical evaluation has been authorized during this stage.
