Overview

  • Supreme Court minister Alexandre de Moraes forwarded the defense’s 39-question medical inquiry to the Polícia Federal for a forensic assessment.
  • Moraes vetoed six questions that he said presume a common prison setting or require subjective legal judgments beyond medical expertise.
  • The evaluation will draw on a medical exam by Cláudio Birolini, and PF experts are required to respond to the court by Jan. 25.
  • A favorable PF opinion could lead Moraes to convert Jair Bolsonaro’s custodial sentence to house arrest, depending on the medical findings.
  • Bolsonaro is serving 27 years and three months in the Sala de Estado Maior at the 19th Military Police Battalion in Brasília, not a standard prison unit.
