The former first lady () wants a (Federal Supreme Court) to ask her husband, the former president (PL), to serve his sentence at home.
According to the former president’s allies, Michelle wants to have the opportunity to personally tell the magistrate that Bolsonaro cannot be left alone at night due to the risk of bronchoaspiration. She also wants to report to Moraes in person that, according to the medical team, if he had been rescued about an hour later, the former president could have died during Friday (13).
Bolsonaro has since been admitted to a private hospital in Brasília with bronchopneumonia. According to the medical bulletin released this Wednesday (18), he had improvement in both lungs, but he is still not expected to be discharged from the hospital.
Bacterial bronchopneumonia was caused by aspiration of vomit as a result of the hiccups he has had since .
Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), his son and also a pre-candidate for president, met with Moraes on Tuesday night (17) alongside lawyer Paulo Cunha Bueno.
“It was an objective conversation in which we exposed our concerns, our fundamentals, to reiterate the defense’s request,” said Flávio, adding that his father’s health condition is likely to worsen if he remains imprisoned in the 19th Military Police Battalion of the Federal District, next to the Papuda Penitentiary Complex.
Bolsonaro’s defense presented a new request for humanitarian house arrest to the Supreme Court this Tuesday, on the grounds that, in recent weeks, there has been a worsening of the situation, which resulted in hospitalization.
The lawyers cite that the emergency hospitalization demonstrates a worsening of Bolsonaro’s clinical condition and that it is “absolutely incompatible with the preservation of his health and physical integrity”, which could lead to fatal complications.
Bolsonaro’s new hospitalization reignited a call for Moraes to authorize his transfer to home care. At court, at least two ministers linked to Moraes are dedicated to this convincing effort.
Michelle was received by Moraes in his office at the Supreme Court in January. At the time, he asked the minister if he could not grant Bolsonaro the same benefit he gave him — humanitarian house arrest. Moraes replied that Collor was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and is at risk of falling.
