Overview
- Judge Alexandre de Moraes ordered a 90-day move to house arrest to let Jair Bolsonaro recover from bronchopneumonia, with a review set after the term.
- The period will begin when he leaves a Brasília hospital, where he has been treated in intensive care for a lung infection.
- Doctors reported a favorable turn and said a step-down from intensive care was expected within 24 hours.
- The Prosecutor General's Office had urged looser custody, and the judge followed that recommendation.
- Bolsonaro is serving a 27-year term for the January 2023 coup attempt after earlier bids for house arrest on health grounds were rejected by Brazil's top court.
