Minister Alexandre de Moraes of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) authorized this Monday, the 13th, that former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) be treated by doctor Marina Grazziotin Pasolini at home, where he is under house arrest, after a new bout of hiccups.
Bolsonaro’s defense filed the request due to the “worsening of persistent episodes of hiccups”. According to the minister’s order, the professional is now authorized to assist the former president “without the need for prior communication” to the Supreme Court.
“I also emphasize that, if necessary, the defendant is authorized to receive any medical treatment at home in the same way that he can be hospitalized in urgent cases, always with the obligation to notify the court within 24 hours, with due proof”, wrote Moraes.

Bolsonaro faces gastrointestinal complications resulting from the stab wound he received during the presidential campaign in 2018.
