Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro received this Thursday the was released from the hospital after spending several days under observation after undergoing three surgeries and has already left the health center, from where he was transferred to the headquarters of the … The federal police in Brasilia continue to serve their 27-year prison sentence for attempted coup d’état, even though the Supreme Court had refused house arrest a few hours earlier.
Bolsonaro left the hospital in a convoy of military police escorts and unmarked black cars that left the complex’s garage around 6:40 p.m. (10:40 p.m. Spanish Peninsula Time). From there, as reported by Agencia Brasil, was transferred to the superintendence of the Federal Police of the Brazilian capitalwhere he has been serving his sentence since November.
His return to police headquarters comes after Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes rejected this afternoon, as he had done two weeks earlier, the request of the former leader’s lawyers to remain under house arrest upon his release from hospital on humanitarian grounds.
The magistrate considered that Bolsonaro’s defense did not present “events that occurred which could dispel the determining reasons for the decision to reject the request for humanitarian house arrest issued on December 19, 2025.” The former presidentinitially operated on for an inguinal herniawas also operated on in the following days so that medical staff could block his right and left phrenic nerves – which control the movements of the diaphragm – and thus stop his persistent hiccups, which he has suffered several times in recent months.
However, the document emphasizes that medical staff, including a physiotherapist, will continue to have full access to care for him and provide him with medication as well as “food prepared by members of his family.”
These latest operations add to the list of interventions that Bolsonaro, 70, has undergone due to various abdominal problems, hernias and intestinal obstructions, after the stabbing he suffered in 2018 while he was a candidate. Since the end of November, the former president has been serving a sentence of 27 years and three months in prison for the attempted coup d’état he led between 2022 and 2023 against the current president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
