The Public Prosecutor's Office of Brazil (PGR) declared its opposition to granting house arrest to former President Jair Bolsonaro, who is currently serving a 27-year and 3-month prison sentence for attempting a coup. Their stance follows a medical examination that concluded that Bolsonaro's health issues do not require hospitalization, thereby undermining his defense's claim for a humanitarian house arrest based on his chronic multi-morbidity.

On the other hand, Bolsonaro's legal team had reiterated their request for house arrest, citing serious health concerns including chronic heart and respiratory issues as well as complications following abdominal surgeries. This ongoing legal battle emphasizes the tension between Bolsonaro’s legal consequences arising from his coup attempt and his proclaimed health vulnerabilities.

Ultimately, the PGR's report, signed by the Attorney General, suggested that Bolsonaro's current incarceration conditions are adequate for his medical needs, raising significant implications about the balance of justice, health care in prison systems, and political influence in legal proceedings pertaining to high-profile figures in Brazil.
