Federal Deputy Lindbergh Farias (PT-RJ), government leader in Congress, requested Minister Alexandre de Moraes of the Supreme Federal Court to revoke Jair Bolsonaro's humanitarian house arrest, citing two grounds: a medical bulletin released on June 19, 2026 showing improvement in the former president's health, and an episode in which Bolsonaro's security detail blocked a summons by a Federal District Civil Police delegate. The request, the second filed by Lindbergh, asks Moraes to consult the Attorney General's Office about revocation or, alternatively, to tighten house arrest conditions. ✓

"o deputado federal Lindbergh Farias (PT-RJ), vice-líder do governo Lula no Congresso Nacional, pediu a revogação da prisão domiciliar do ex-presidente, citando episódio em que a escolta impediu a intimação policial"
"Um boletim médico divulgado nesta sexta-feira, 19, aponta evolução no tratamento do Jair Bolsonaro"
"Na peça, o deputado pede que o ministro Alexandre de Moraes, do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), consulte a Procuradoria-Geral da República (PGR) sobre a revogação da domiciliar e, caso isso não ocorra de imediato, que as condições da prisão sejam endurecidas"
Bolsonaro was convicted in Criminal Action (AP) 2668 to 27 years and three months in prison for the crimes of armed criminal organization, violent abolition of the rule of law, coup d'état, qualified damage to public property, and deterioration of heritage property. In March 2026, Minister Alexandre de Moraes granted temporary 90-day humanitarian house arrest in Criminal Execution (EP) 169 (case no. 7447709 at STF), based on aspiration bronchopneumonia. The medical team at Hospital DF Star certified, according to information attached to the case file, "need for continuous clinical monitoring during antibiotic treatment." ✓

"Bolsonaro foi condenado na Ação Penal (AP) 2668 a 27 anos e três meses de prisão pela prática dos crimes de organização criminosa armada, abolição violenta do Estado de Direito, golpe de Estado, dano qualificado ao patrimônio público e deterioração de patrimônio tombado."
"Em sua decisão na Execução Penal [(EP) 169](https://portal.stf.jus.br/processos/detalhe.asp?incidente=7447709)"
"Em informação anexada aos autos, a equipe médica do Hospital DF Star apontou que, apesar do quadro estável, há a necessidade de monitorização clínica contínua durante o tratamento antibiótico."
The June 19 physiotherapy report describes sessions conducted between June 15 and 17, recording that Bolsonaro showed "greater physical disposition compared to previous weeks," with reduced pain and improved mobility in the operated shoulder. Regarding the chronic hiccups that motivated part of the follow-up, the document indicates good response to treatment but lists medication side effects: daytime drowsiness and balance instability. ✓

"O relatório fisioterapêutico descreve sessões realizadas entre 15 e 17 de junho. Bolsonaro demonstrou "maior disposição física em comparação às semanas anteriores", fato associado à ausência de episódios de soluço nos dias anteriores ao atendimento. O documento aponta redução de dor e ganho de mobilidade."
"Em relação ao soluço, os médicos afirmam que houve boa resposta ao tratamento. O documento aponta, porém, efeitos colaterais dos remédios: sonolência diurna e instabilidade no equilíbrio corporal."
According to press reports, the episode underlying the PT's request occurred when a PCDF delegate went to Bolsonaro's residence to summon him to testify about a weapon seized from one of his security guards but was blocked by the security detail. For Lindbergh, the impediment demonstrates that "house arrest does not protect Bolsonaro from state actions" and that "the security detail has no right to block police." Moraes subsequently authorized Bolsonaro to give in-person testimony at his own residence on June 23 at 3 PM — rejecting the PCDF's request for videoconference testimony. ✓

"Um delegado da Polícia Civil do Distrito Federal (PCDF) foi até a casa de Bolsonaro para intimá-lo a prestar depoimento sobre a arma apreendida com um de seus seguranças. No entanto, a escolta de Jair o barrou."
"Para o deputado, a prisão domiciliar não protege Bolsonaro de ações do Estado e a escolta não tem o direito de barrar a polícia."
"Moraes autorizou que Bolsonaro preste depoimento à PCDF. A polícia pediu oitiva por videoconferência. O ministro, porém, determinou que seja presencial, na própria residência onde o ex-presidente cumpre pena, no dia 23 de junho, às 15h."
All three sources confirm that the June 19 medical bulletin records Bolsonaro's physical improvement with reduced pain and improved mobility in the operated shoulder, and good response to hiccup treatment.
All three sources report that Bolsonaro's security detail blocked a PCDF delegate attempting to summon him to testify about a weapon seized from a security guard, and that Moraes authorized in-person testimony at the residence on June 23 at 3 PM.

Covered by only some sources (3)
Correio do Povo and InfoMoney specify that Lindbergh Farias is 'vice-leader of the Lula government in the National Congress,' while Jovem Pan identifies him only as 'deputy.'
Only Correio do Povo and InfoMoney mention side effects of hiccup medications (daytime drowsiness and balance instability); Jovem Pan omits this information.
All sources state Bolsonaro obtained humanitarian house arrest 'at the end of March' for 90 days due to 'serious health situation,' but none specify the exact date of Moraes' decision nor cite the aspiration bronchopneumonia diagnosis that justified the measure.
-
What is the procedural deadline for Minister Alexandre de Moraes to decide on the house arrest revocation request?
Why it's still unknown: The press did not report the legal or regulatory deadline for the decision, nor whether there is a mandatory prior statement from the Attorney General's Office before the monocratic decision.
-
What legal criteria does the STF use to assess whether clinical improvement justifies revocation of humanitarian house arrest?
Why it's still unknown: Reports do not cite STF precedents or applicable doctrine for cases where the detainee's health improves before the end of the temporary humanitarian measure. It is unclear whether the 90-day period functions as a fixed term or can be revoked early based on clinical evolution.
-
Does the blocking of summons by Bolsonaro's security detail constitute breach of house arrest conditions and what is the provided legal consequence?
Why it's still unknown: The press records the fact and Deputy Lindbergh's interpretation, but does not report whether there is specific legal basis (prior decision by Moraes on security detail duties, house custody regulatory rule) allowing characterization of the blocking as a procedural violation.
-
What are the current conditions of Bolsonaro's house arrest that the PT requests be tightened if revocation is not immediate?
Why it's still unknown: The request mentions 'tightening of conditions,' but reports do not specify which restrictions are currently in effect (electronic monitoring, schedules, travel authorization, visitation regime) nor what the proposed tightening would be.
