Jair Bolsonaro Hospitalized Amid House Arrest Due to Health Crisis

Jair Bolsonaro, the former President of Brazil, was admitted to the hospital following a sudden health crisis. The incident, which occurred while he was under house arrest, was disclosed by his son, Flavio Bolsonaro. The former president was experiencing health issues including hiccups, vomiting, and low blood pressure. The medical team that attended Bolsonaro revealed the problems were a result of poor dietary habits over the previous month. The house arrest stemmed from a 27-year sentence related to allegations of orchestrating a coup after his 2022 election loss to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. Bolsonaro’s legal team has stated they plan to challenge the ruling. Flavio Bolsonaro used social media to share information about his father’s health, calling the situation an emergency. The attending physicians confirmed that Bolsonaro’s weak health, including signs of anemia, was due to insufficient nutrition. Furthermore, a biopsy was performed, and eight skin samples were collected for analysis. Bolsonaro was implicated in several charges, including conspiracy to commit murder, during the trial, alleging a plot to assassinate Lula, Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, and Alexandre de Moraes.
