Moraes allows Bolsonaro to go to the dentist under escort

Supreme Federal Court (STF) Minister Alexandre de Moraes has authorized former president Jair Bolsonaro to temporarily leave house arrest to receive dental care. The authorization was granted following a request made by Bolsonaro's defense on Friday, the 14th.

The dental care will take place at the Military Police Medical Center and will be conducted with escort, as indicated by the Military Police Battalion, which highlighted security concerns in this decision. The date and time of the appointment have not been disclosed for security reasons.

Bolsonaro's defense had suggested that the dental care be performed at the clinic of Senator Flávio Bolsonaro's wife, Fernanda Antunes Figueira Bolsonaro; however, this request was denied by Moraes. The minister opted to prioritize the former president's security by using the location recommended by the police.

Moraes's decision has been reported by various sources, including g1 and Folha de S.Paulo, which confirmed the authorization and the recommendation for care at the military facility.

Additionally, according to the UOL website, the authorization was granted considering the necessary security conditions, given the context surrounding the former president. Brazilian justice also emphasized that the authorization could be revoked if details about the appointment are disclosed publicly.

In this context, the case remains under observation, as Bolsonaro's health situation and dental treatment are issues that have attracted public and media attention.
