Federal District Governor Ibanes Rocha (MDB) said. Bound Inability to guarantee the ability of Babuda Prison to receive Jair Bolsonaro (PL), due to ignorance of the health situation of the former president.
Bolsonaro faces the final stage of the coup operation in the STF (Supreme Federal Court), for which he was sentenced to 27 years and three months in prison. When resources are considered to have been exhausted, the court may order that the sentence be carried out in a closed system.
Chief of Staff Alexandre de Moraes, from the Special Forces, inspected Babuda and “Babudinha”, as the 19th Military Police Battalion of the Federal District is known, which is located in front of the prison. In 2023, former Minister Anderson Torres was detained in reserve in that battalion.
The governor said in response to a question by the government, “I cannot guarantee that. We do not know his health condition.” Bound On whether the prison will be able to receive Bolsonaro and be responsible for him.
Regarding the possibility of the Federal District Government appealing the possible court decision in this regard, Ibanes said that the decision is made by the Supreme Court and the Criminal Judgment Execution Court, and that it is only up to the Secretariat of the Brasilia Prison Administration to comply with it.
Last week, the ministry sent a letter to Moraes requesting that the former president undergo a medical evaluation to confirm his condition while he was detained in the prisons of the federal capital.
But the judge saw “lack of significance” in the Defense and Security Forces’ request and noted that he should not analyze the request until after the coup plot operation is over.
The justification given is that the document sent by the government, under the administration of Ibanes, deals with criminal execution, which is the post-judgment stage in appeals.
The governor said he was not aware of the health condition of Bolsonaro, who is an ally of him in the Federal District, but stated that his deputy, Celina Liao (PP), is better able to assess.
He said, “As for his health condition, Selena has recently been (with the former president) and I know, in addition to being a very good friend of Michel (Bolsonaro).”
The lieutenant governor was with Bolsonaro on August 15. At the time, she did not speak publicly, but in an interview with SBT News on Monday (11), she said that Babuda would not be able to receive the former president.
He added, “Babuda is not in a position to receive Bolsonaro. He needs a special diet, he is old, and he is a former president. If he is well taken care of, he will have a long life.”
Selena also said the prison system is unable to guarantee special food preparation for Bolsonaro, who will need a specific diet due to abdominal surgeries.
The lieutenant governor is a pre-candidate for the DF government, on a ticket that should have PL, PP, MDB and Republicans as allies.
The political group is trying to reach an agreement whereby Michelle will be a candidate for the Senate, and Ibanez as well, and Selena will remain in the Palacio do Poretti. In this formation, the current Secretary of the Chamber of Deputies, Gustavo Rocha, will be his deputy. He recently joined the Republicans.
Rocha worked at the SAJ (Sub-Head for Presidential Legal Affairs) in the government of Michel Temer (MDB), of which Moraes was Minister of Justice.
The emergence of a possible candidacy of federal representative Pia Kisses (PL-DF) for the Senate, which could lead to the collapse of the agreement with the Ibanes government, threatens the right-wing unity plan of the Democratic Front.
