Bolsonaro, 70 years old, underwent surgery last Thursday to treat a bilateral inguinal hernia. After the initial surgery, he needed to undergo two procedures to treat persistent hiccups.

The former president received authorization from the Minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) Alexandre de Moraes to leave the Federal Police Superintendency in Brasília, where he is serving a prison sentence for an attempted coup, to be admitted to a hospital in Brasília.
