Bolsonaro Back to Prison, Denied House Arrest After Surgery
Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has returned to prison. He was discharged from a hospital in Brasília and taken back into custody. This follows a week of recovery after he had surgery for a double hernia. His request to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest was denied. Bolsonaro is currently serving a prison sentence for his role in leading an attempted coup. The legal case involves his efforts to overturn the results of the 2022 election.
