Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is set to leave the hospital Friday and resume house arrest while serving a 27-year prison term for his role in a coup attempt, according to his physician.<\/p>

Speaking to reporters in Brazil’s capital on Wednesday, Dr. Brasil Caiado confirmed that Bolsonaro’s medical condition has stabilized enough for him to return home, barring any unexpected developments.<\/p>

The former leader, age 71, has remained hospitalized since March 13 while receiving treatment for pneumonia, adding to a series of medical issues that began when he suffered a stabbing attack in 2018 prior to winning the presidency.<\/p>

Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes granted permission Tuesday for Bolsonaro to complete his sentence at his residence, citing health concerns following his hospital release. However, the justice noted he would reassess this arrangement within three months.<\/p>

Under the court’s ruling, Bolsonaro must wear electronic monitoring equipment and cannot access mobile phones. Law enforcement will maintain surveillance of his home in a secured residential area, where demonstrations are prohibited. His contact will be limited strictly to medical professionals and immediate family.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
