Brazil’s Bolsonaro taken to hospital after feeling sick, son says

Sao Paulo – Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was taken to the capital of the capital Brasilia after being sick, his son said on Tuesday.

His son, Flavio, said in an article on X that the former chief had severe hiccups, vomiting and high blood pressure.

Bolsonaro underwent a series of medical treatments in Brasilia on Sunday, including laboratory tests and the surgical elimination of skin lesions.

Last week, the former president was sentenced by a Supreme Court panel to 27 years and three months in prison for comparing a coup after losing the 2022 elections.

Bolsonaro has been under house arrest since August for allegedly courted the pressure on the courts of US President Donald Trump.
