Bolsonaro is currently serving a sentence of 27 years and 3 months in prison. Since March 24 of this year, he has been under humanitarian house arrest, a measure initially authorized by Moraes for a period of 90 days. The decision was made to allow the former president to recover from bronchopneumonia.
Flávio Bolsonaro is prohibited from visiting his fatherThe request for Bolsonaro to go to the dentist occurs while Flávio Bolsonaro is prevented from visiting his father. The senator was banned by Moraes from having face-to-face contact with the former president for 90 days.
The determination took place last month, after the minister understood that Bolsonaro had failed to comply with the conditions established for house arrest.
According to the decision, Flávio published a letter in which his father appointed him as spokesman and reaffirmed his support for his son's candidacy. The demonstration was considered by Moraes as a violation of the rules imposed on the former president.
In addition to the specific ban on the senator, the minister determined that Bolsonaro will not be able to receive visits for “political-electoral” purposes until the end of the 2026 Elections.
Moraes also suspended, for 30 days, general visits to the former president. The measure established exceptions for permanent members of the medical team, physiotherapy professionals and lawyers.
