Jair Bolsonaro's Health Linked to House Arrest by PL Leader Valdemar Costa Neto

Jair Bolsonaro Valdemar Costa Neto house arrest health claim weapons search 2026 election

Brazilian PL president Valdemar Costa Neto said former president Jair Bolsonaro would recover instantly if released from house arrest, stating “Ele sairia de lá pulando de alegria, sara na hora.” He attributed Bolsonaro’s current health problems to his confinement and suggested the ex‑president could still run in the 2026 presidential election, drawing a parallel with former president Lula’s release.

The remarks came hours after the Federal Police carried out a Supreme Court‑ordered search of Bolsonaro’s residence, looking for firearms, ammunition and related documents. The operation found no items, as the defense had already disclosed the location of the weapons, some of which had been handed to the army or seized earlier. Valdemar also touched on family tensions, mentioning efforts to reconcile Michelle and Flávio Bolsonaro ahead of upcoming elections.
