Brazil Court Orders Bolsonaro to Serve 27-Year Sentence Under House Arrest for Health Reasons

Brazil’s Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes authorized former President Jair Bolsonaro to serve his 27-year sentence under house arrest because of serious health issues, including pneumonia. This ruling marks a major shift from Bolsonaro's prior ICU hospitalization and signifies judicial leniency based on medical grounds. Going forward, Bolsonaro’s health will remain under close observation, and the legal system will manage his sentencing conditions accordingly.
