Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro Undergoes Surgery

Jair Bolsonaro, the former president of Brazil, has been admitted to the intensive care unit of a hospital in Brasília following a lengthy surgical procedure that lasted 12 hours on Sunday, according to reports from Reuters. Bolsonaro was hospitalized on Friday due to abdominal pain, marking his fifth surgery related to gastrointestinal issues since he was stabbed during a campaign event in 2018. Medical professionals have indicated that he will remain hospitalized until his condition improves, although recovery may take some time. Bolsonaro is currently facing charges related to an alleged coup attempt following his electoral defeat in 2022, which could result in a prison sentence of up to 40 years if he is convicted.
