Brazil’s Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes on Tuesday denied a request by former President Jair Bolsonaro to immediately leave prison for tests in a hospital in Brasilia after falling and hitting his head, the court decision showed.
The 70-year-old right-wing leader fell while sleeping and hit his head on a piece of furniture, his wife Michelle Bolsonaro wrote on Instagram earlier in the day.
Brazil’s federal police said in a statement that Bolsonaro received initial medical treatment on Tuesday morning, adding that a federal police doctor “found minor injuries” and saw no need for hospitalization.
