Brazil's top court permits house arrest for former President Bolsonaro

A Brazilian Supreme Court judge decided on Friday that former President Jair Bolsonaro may continue serving his sentence under house arrest rather than in a prison facility, citing health reasons. Bolsonaro has been serving a 27-year term since November following his conviction for orchestrating a coup attempt after his defeat in the 2022 election. The 71-year-old was moved from jail to a private medical facility earlier this year after contracting pneumonia.
