Moraes keeps Bolsonaro and five others in custody after custody hearing

The hearings were held separately and by video conference in the locations where each of the convicts began serving their sentences. The procedure is mandatory and serves to verify the legality of the arrests. This is the moment when the prisoners have the chance to present any details about their health conditions, and the defenses can file requests for the penal execution phase. During a medical examination conducted when being taken to the Military Command of Planalto detention facility, General Augusto Heleno, 78, informed the medical team that he has been suffering from Alzheimer’s since 2018, with recent memory loss. Heleno also complained of back pain, but the medical report stated that his overall health was good. The military man was the head of the Institutional Security Cabinet (GSI) during Bolsonaro’s government (2019-2022).
