Bolsonaro Undergoes Successful Shoulder Surgery in Brazil

Jair Bolsonaro, the former president of Brazil, has successfully undergone surgery on his shoulder. The procedure, an arthroscopic repair of his shoulder tendons, took place at the private DF Star clinic in Brasilia and was reported to have proceeded without complications. His wife, Michelle Bolsonaro, shared the news on Instagram, thanking the medical team and previously asking for prayers for her husband.

This hospitalization was authorized by Judge Alexandre de Moraes, following a request from Bolsonaro's legal team due to recurring pain in his right shoulder. The former president, who is 71 years old, is currently under house arrest as he serves a sentence for alleged conspiracy to overthrow the government following his electoral defeat in 2022. He has had several surgeries in recent years, stemming from a stab wound to the abdomen he sustained during a campaign rally in 2018.

Bolsonaro's legal troubles continue, with a recent Supreme Court conviction sentencing him to 27 years in prison. However, there have been recent parliamentary moves to potentially reduce his sentence. Despite his legal situation and ineligibility to run for office, Bolsonaro has designated his eldest son, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro, as his political heir. Recent polls show Flavio Bolsonaro in a tight race against the current leftist president, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
