Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro left prison on December 24th for his first hospitalization since being sentenced. He underwent surgery after Brazilian Supreme Federal Justice Alexandre de Morais granted his defense team's request for surgery but rejected an application to transfer him to home detention. The Brazilian Federal Police medical team diagnosed Bolsonaro with bilateral inguinal hernias and recommended immediate surgery.
