Overview
- A filing to the Supreme Federal Court reports new bouts of vomiting and intensified hiccup crises, describing Jair Bolsonaro’s condition as fragile.
- The defense asks the court to order the Federal Police to deliver the January 20 medical expert report with maximum urgency.
- Bolsonaro is serving a 27-year sentence for leading a coup plot, and earlier requests for house arrest were denied by Justice Alexandre de Moraes after post-surgery assessments.
- His recent medical history includes four procedures in late 2025—hernia repair and diaphragm nerve blocks—along with cited diagnoses of squamous cell carcinoma, gastritis, esophagitis, and severe sleep apnea.
- The Supreme Military Tribunal has opened an unprecedented review on stripping Bolsonaro and convicted generals of their ranks, a process without a set timetable that could affect his classification and detention arrangements.
