The former president, who is serving a 27-year sentence for plotting a coup, was allowed to leave prison for the operation.
Brazil’s former president Jair Bolsonaro endorsed his son Flavio’s 2026 presidential bid on Thursday in a statement from a hospital where he underwent a scheduled hernia operation that doctors said went smoothly.
Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes authorised Bolsonaro to leave prison, where he is serving a 27-year sentence for plotting a coup, for the surgery.
