Flávio Dino and Cristiano Zanin followed the rapporteur, Alexandre de Moraes’ assessment of Papudinha’s “total suitability” for the former president’s medical needs
The First Panel of the Federal Supreme Court formed a majority to approve Minister Alexandre de Moraes’ decision to deny former president Jair Bolsonaro’s request for house arrest. In a virtual trial, ministers Flávio Dino and Cristiano Zanin accompanied the rapporteur in order to keep the former head of the Executive in custody at Papudinha.
The trial takes place this Thursday, three days after Moraes denied yet another request from the former chief executive’s defense. In the order, the magistrate highlighted the “complete suitability” of Papudinha, where Bolsonaro is being held, for the former president’s medical needs. “Fully satisfactory conditions for serving the sentence”, he noted.
Moraes even cited the “large number of visits” from deputies, senators, governors and public figures that Bolsonaro receives as proof of the former president’s “intense political activity”, even though he is in prison. In the minister’s view, this routine corroborates certificates of the former president’s “good physical and mental health condition”.
In another part of the decision, the STF minister highlighted that the former president was entitled to 144 medical treatments, an average of three consultations per day, during the period in which he was imprisoned in Papudinha. In the same period of time, the former Chief Executive received 36 visits from third parties, went on 33 walking sessions and met his lawyers 29 times.
