THE Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), denied, this Tuesday (6), the removal of former president Jair Bolsonaro for hospital care due to a fall that he had last night. He is imprisoned in a cell at the Federal Police Superintendency, in Brasília (DF).
Moraes was based, according to his order, on the assessment of the Federal Police team.
“The Federal Police doctor found minor injuries and did not identify the need for hospital referral, with only observation being indicated,” Moraes pointed out in the order.
Therefore, the minister wrote, in the decision, that there would be “no need for immediate removal of the person in custody to the hospital”.
He added that Bolsonaro’s defense, however, was advised by the private doctor that the former president would have the right to undergo tests, “as long as they were previously scheduled and with a specific indication and proven need”.
Still in the order, the minister determined that the defense indicate which exams are necessary so that “the possibility of being carried out in the penitentiary system can be verified”.
The former president’s wife, Michelle Bolsonaro, posted on Instagram indicating that her husband had a “crisis”.
“My love is not well. During the night, while he was sleeping, he had a crisis, fell and hit his head on the furniture.”
The former first lady also regretted that the service only took place this Tuesday morning, when Bolsonaro was called for the visit, at 9 am. This delay, according to her, occurred because the room “remains closed”.
Still talking about the incident, Michelle added that Bolsonaro did not remember “how long he was unconscious” and that tests would be needed to check for any “trauma or possible neurological damage”.
For the press, doctor Cláudio Birolini, who treats the former president, said that Bolsonaro had a “mild trauma”.
